Creative Youth is a not for profit, registered charity that aims to enable young people to realise their potential through the Arts.
What is this service?
Anstee Bridge is an alternative and creative learning programme in Kingston Upon Thames designed for vulnerable young people aged 14-16 who are experiencing emotional challenges that can often cause them to disengage from education.
The programme offers young people a place whose schools have identified them as needing emotional respite to help support them in their final year of school.
Aims
-
To improve the young people's mental well being by focusing on their low self-esteem, absence of true confidence and their inability or reluctance to create the courage needed to change themselves from within.
-
To improve the young people's engagement with school and education using alternative non-traditional teaching methods. These methods bring back excitement and joy into the learning process and encourages the young people to improve their day-to-day engagement at school.
-
To provide a post 16 destination for all participants. The young people often enter Anstee Bridge with limited ideas for a destination after GCSEs and school. We empower them to create their own pathway and support their development into successful thoughtful independent young adults.
If you are interested in volunteering, getting involved, running a workshop or helping us in any other way, then please contact us.
