We provide activities focused around music production, photography, cooking, keeping fit, cv writing and interview skills for youngsters not in education, employment or training (NEET), cv writing, anti-bullying initiatives and much more, participants can gain nationally-recognised qualifications. Similar workshops are also available outside school hours for those in full-time education.
