We deliver arts and cultural activities with children and young people who have arrived in Scotland unaccompanied by a parent or guardian and are in need of refugee protection. 

We working in partnership with Guardianship Scotland to create a safe space that these young people can access almost immediately on arrival. We take a children’s rights approach to our activities, and offer an accessible and exciting programme of work that creates opportunities for young people to express their creativity, create community, and develop confidence as they adapt to their new lives in Scotland. 

Our programme includes:

• Twice monthly Group Nights where young people actively participate in a wide range of artforms, including visual arts, music and dance, and co-create new artworks with professional artist facilitators;
• Special projects, driven by the interests of the young people, that enable a deeper exploration of a particular artform in collaboration with a professional artist;
• Trips to see performances and exhibitions;
• Special events to mark significant cultural events throughout the year;
• An annual outdoor activity residential.
