We understand that coming to a workshop like this can be a scary thing to do. It’s very brave to even consider it for many young people. We are sensitive to this and work with the group to build friendship and confidence to try things out. We discuss the day and young people create a space where they know they can engage as much as they feel they want to.

Yes. We have a pre attendance call to parents and guardians before the workshop.

Every young person is different and we want to facilitate what is best for them. Sometimes a parent or guardian joins for a few minutes at the beginning until the main session starts. There is a cafe area for parents who then wish to remain in the building. In our pre-attendance call we discuss this and how best to manage it.

We stay in the community centre at lunchtime as we retain responsibility for the young people. We request that all attendees bring a packed lunch.

We will be in workshop room at the community centre for the day. There is access to toilets, a canteen area and refreshments. I will be joined by my co-facilitator on the day ensuring there are two adults with the group.

Yes, we’ll be running the workshop again for other ages.
