Explore the creative projects
The projects that have taken place over the past 4 years have been in direct response to recurring issues and concerns that young people in Slough feel are important to address. These themes fall into three categories: Mental Wellbeing, Community Cohesion and Crime Reduction.
The Environment
In our first year of the programme, young people created two stop motion animation films about the impact of plastic pollution on the ocean and rainforests.
This project happened in response to concerns from young people about littering in Slough, and how it has a negative impact on the environment and on people’s perceptions about the town.
I was born and raised in Slough and have been working within the Slough community for 5 years – from supporting vulnerable young people to working in groups of diverse and talented young people. I am keen to encourage and empower young people using creativity and offer up a stage for them to build confidence, learn new skills and find the hidden artists in the community. From painting to building tables, it’s a safe space to express and share!
