Last year we worked with 40 young people during the Easter Holidays and over 100 in the summer.
Our Holiday Schemes aim to provide a positive and lasting mark on the local area, so far the young people designed and painted a mural and shop-fronts, created a mosaic sign for the Copley Community Hall and made their mark with a graffiti wall.
This Easter, we plan to complete the painting and get the young people gardening to improve the area opposite Castlebar Park Train station. They will also develop ideas for a mural that will be approved by the community and will be painted during the May Half Term or Summer Holidays.
20 tickets for Vue cinema and a story telling at Corbetts Bookshop in Ealing Broadway have already been donated. We will be going to London to do some sightseeing and will also be going on a trip possibly ice-skating or a theatre trip. The young people will decide the timetable and activities on the first day of the scheme.
Dates Tuesday 4rd April – Friday 7th April
Monday 10th April – Thursday 14th April
Times 10am – 3pm
Cost £4 per day or £30 for whole scheme if paid in advance
