Our ethos is based on the values of creativity, connection and change, and the positive impact they can provide for both individuals and communities. We are volunteers with in-depth knowledge of the creative sector and the issues that we seek to address, specifically mental health, recovery, unemployment and social integration. We work with local creative young people to facilitate the creation of cultural projects, using music and the arts, which highlight and address social issues that affect children and young people (YP) locally (eg mental health, homelessness, Isolation, unemployment, lack of opportunity, lack of services), and offer work and volunteering opportunities. We work in collaboration with local organisations and groups, working with YP with mental health issues. We offer a holistic approach to our work that results in improved overall mental health based on our participants' perception of their own mental well being.
