Growing our creative mentoring programme for children and young people

We're so proud to have been named as one of only three local authorities in the East Midlands to receive additional funding so we can expand the creative mentoring support we offer to children and young people in our care.
The programme is completely free for children and young people in care - matching them with creative mentors who are experienced artists and organise creative activities based on the young person’s likes and interests. From these activities, each young person goes on to create several artistic pieces which will be shared later in the year, helping them to embrace their creative voice and grow in confidence.
