Young Urban Arts Foundations

Here's the second of our updates from charities we have been able to support this year.

Thanks to a grant from Sherborne in the Community, Young Urban Arts Foundations kicked off their Skip to the Beat Programme at The Pavillion PRU in Barnet this Autumn. Skip to the Beat uses creativity as a form of therapy to improve the wellbeing and life chances of disadvantaged young people. The first week intensive saw the young people exploring positive affirmation through spray painting T-art, working with rhythm as a group through drumming and taking the first steps on their Skip to the Beat journey. Over the coming months they will be working on releasing negative emotions and developing strategies to improve, and maintain mental health.  To find out more about YUAF go to www.yuaf.org.uk or email [email protected]
