Over 100 young people reported improved confidence from taking part
Our Cashback Summer programme is a fun way to develop your skills and confidence in a non-traditional environment, beyond the classroom or the local youth club. Delivered at a venue near to you, we give you the opportunity to explore the creative side of who you are and grow as a result.
Where it suits your needs, we can also support you to gain qualifications or a dynamic youth award.
