Who we are and what we do with Young People

We work with young vulnerable and disadvantaged people aged 10 - 19 up to 24 years old…young men, women and girls in Southwark Communities. We use music and dance, graffiti arts on canvas show, photography and filming, happy rap with clean lyrics and poems, roller-skate and skate-board competitions and youth magazine projects as tools to help maintain creative ideas in them.  We help to educate youth in their efforts to eradicate street gang culture, gun and knife crime, effects of children and young people witnessing  domestic violence in their family homes, teenage pregnancies, violent crime against women and young girls, drugs and alcohol abuse and many more issues facing our young people today. Our projects allow young people to share skills, promote self confidence, build positive mental strength to become responsible adult and be good citizens.
