Our primary aim is to assist clients in the development of keys skills, such as literacy and numeracy, and the social skills that can aid a client in the process of becoming a self supporting and active citizen. We use the the arts as a tool to facilitate the learning process. The arts are at the core of programme delivery and various mediums are used to achieve learning outcomes. Drama and music are strong elements in most courses but other art forms such as video and creative writing are also employed depending on the interests of the participants.

Teaching methods are dynamic and encourage direct participation from the learners through practical exercises and hands on experience. Traditional classroom tutorials are kept to a minimum and the evidence required for the purposes of accrediting our courses can be gathered through a variety of means that ensure everybody benefits from the programmes we provide.

A strong focus is given to preparing and enabling learners to approach employment, and/or further training, with confidence and a realistic understanding of their own skills and abilities and how they might fit within specific learning and employment contexts.
