We run various Creative Arts workshops for children and young people in the London Borough of Barnet
In these days when children and young people spend a lot of time on digital gadgets and social media there is decline in social interaction. We bring local children together to create beautiful creative arts items as they work together, interact and help each other, thus promoting their spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and social development. In this process the children are guided to experience and become conscious of exercising their gifts for their future lives.
Why the community needs usWe provide children in the London Borough of Barnet with a positive experience, diverting them away from anti-social behaviours and giving them an opportunity to learn new life skills. They make new friends and access support from staff and their peers. Those who are disadvantaged are able to integrate with other children of their own age group. We provide activities that children find fun, interesting, stimulating, educational and challenging in a safe environment and venue.
Our impact on the communityOur creative arts activities encourages independence and self-esteem and also helps to develop-patience and perseverance, and it enhances problem solving. The children experience a sense of accomplishment with each completed project. Our activities not only serve to educate the children in the nature and processes involved with the different materials, the use of tools and equipment, but there is also the inherent therapeutic aspect. The children become conscious of exercising their gifts.
We are seeking volunteers to assist with smooth running of workshops with children in the 8 12 year old group. The work involves helping to set up before workshop, clear up after and assisting the children with whatever project they are working on.
