Take Back the Future


This project, funded by The Big Lottery’s Awards For All scheme, worked with a mixed group of young people from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. It aimed to build confidence and self esteem; improve communication and social skills as well as support them in developing a product based on teamwork and creativity.

We worked with three cohorts of young people for 10 weeks at a time. Having taken part in loveLife workshops and activities, each group focused on creating a final product. These were: 

     Hidden Hero: A short film exploring the relationship between the visible vulnerability and inner strength of each individual which are often unseen by the world.
     Summer Mix: A music track with original lyrics celebrating a new generation of young people with a  positive attitude and lifestyle
-          Today: A spoken word piece set to music about individual reflections on what today means.  
Out of the 48 participants 24 gained a nationally accredited Youth Challenge Award and 3 completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award. 16 of the young people involved have continued to work with us even though the project ended
