Choices

Choices is an innovative programme commissioned by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Violence Reduction Unit and delivered by Artswork in partnership with BearFace Theatre, designed for young people aged 10 – 12 and school staff. Running from September 2023 to July 2025, the programme uses creative techniques to help young people navigate the challenges they are facing in their lives.
