Our work supports 11-18-year-olds in Lancaster and Morecambe to make things, make friends and make a difference in their community. We achieve this through running year-round Clubs and 2 ambitious Projects each year. Using surveys, interviews and other tools we do our best to show the impact we have on young people and the wider community.
