Jez O'Kane and myself have been supporting young people to put in bids for Fair Share Youth Funding and I know many of you are aware that we have supported a young people's magazine project at Whitgift School a Dance Group that meet at WMCC, young people taking up boxing at the new gym in Immingham, one young person accessing a drama summer school, young people accessing training for an NVQ through Humberside Fire and Rescue, one young person furthering his coaching skills and a new group of Basketball Players who train on the Duke of York Gardens.
Jez has also been directly working with young people on a community education programme using visual art as a way of promoting healthier lifestyles.
Jez is also currently working with a wider group of interested parties to look at extending the opportunities for young people to access art projects of all kinds including music, dance, drama and the visual arts. He is therefore looking for people who might want to get involved in an Arts Network across North East Lincolnshire to see how we can provide arts opportunities in the West Marsh and other areas of North East Lincolnshire. Rehearsal, performance and gallery spaces are what we need apparently and we think that by acting in partnership across the borough we are more likely to make progress than if we try and do it all just in this ward.
