To date we have 80 young people registered onto the week day sessions and 28 onto the homework initiative.

The week day sessions provide generic youth sessions coupled with a variety of tailored workshops including:
• Caribbean cooking
• T-shirt printing
• Cake workshop
• Embroidery
• DJ workshop in partnership with 'Say it Loud' youth project
