We are an arts and education organisation that has been providing education, outreach and training to children and young people (up to age 25) at risk, who are often socially excluded, in challenging circumstances and experiencing disadvantages, since 1998.

Developing Life Long Skills

Our work develops lifelong key skills empowering young people with critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, negotiation and adaptability, building a foundation for personal growth and navigate challenges to make informed decisions throughout their lives.

We give young people a voice

How do we do this?  We focus on three main areas of work, believing that with timely intervention and a mentoring approach, everyone can reach their potential, which we call Pioneering Potential.
