9 years agoThe workshops were a huge success! Joivan, Dee & Percy captivated, motivated and encouraged all participants. The sessions were interesting and focused but most of all very uplifting for the young people. The team building exercises were a superb ice breaker. The fun acting exercises unleashed the hidden talents with a vengeance! The connection between the participants grew stronger as they moved from one session to another. The use of lyrics from Nas's song; I Know I Can in one of the sessions reinforced the message that the children could be whatever they wanted as long as they believed in themselves and worked hard in order to complete the journey. All participants received a trophy, a certificate of achievement and a selfie :-) A priceless experience! Thank you for making it possible.

I have been volunteering in my community for the past 7 years. My aim is to raise aspirations of young people living in Hackney by exposing them to activities that ordinarily their parents cannot afford or they believe it's beyond their reach simply because of where they live.
