CashBack Hubs
*PLEASE NOTE OUR GLASGOW GROUPS ARE NOW FULL*
Are you a young person aged 14-19? Interested in exploring creativity? Join CashBack Hubs and build your confidence through art!
Our CashBack Hubs programme offers a great first steps to meet like-minded young people, learn new skills, improve physical and mental health, build confidence, and form friendships through creative engagement
Over the course of 10 weeks, participants will experiment in a whole range of art forms and enjoy some trips to galleries and museums, exploring our theme of heritage. Where it suits their needs, we can also support young people to gain a level 3 or 4 SQA qualification.
We provide young people an opportunity to explore their creative side and grow as a result. The groups will be supported by a Creative Lead Tutor and a Wellbeing and Opportunities Worker. At the end of the 10 weeks, we host a celebration event to showcase all their amazing works.
No prior arts or creative experience required for this project; it is a fun way for everyone to develop core transferable skills.
This is a free course, all materials, snacks and public transport costs are provided
Young people will be able to explore creativity, imagination and making through digital and visual art.
