Creative Youth Opportunities

Creative Youth Opportunities Creative Youth Opportunities CIC is a social enterprise... we use art in all its forms to enrich the lives of children & young people.

Creative Youth Opportunities is a non-profit youth arts organisation with a passion & focus on community... we work with young people & children (school years 2-13) running regular creative youth sessions and developing arts based projects. To address social issues, link people with place and one another and to improve well-being, boost confidence and raise aspirations. We want to increase partici

pation in the arts and to make art accessible to all. But most importantly we want to spread the message of the importance, value and power of art! We believe in the power of art - we see it as an essential part of our lives and integral to youth and community work. Art is the tool or vehicle by which we can engage people, level the 'playing field' explore the 'difficult' topics and issues, make sense of the world, share our message and give a voice to people and most of all make our world and our communities, a better place. Art brings people together, it shines bright on the darkest of days, it fills hearts with joy and it can bring about real change.

Last night some of our team and young people had an amazing experience… they went to welcome and cheer on the amazing Jill Scott - JS8 as she arrived at Bishop Auckland Football ground… we were invited along by StreetGames who support us through their Pears Foundation Fit n Fed fund… we were looked after last night by StreetGames and the team at Sport Relief and our young people had the most amazing time - thank you!

We do have a few reports of sleepy young people this morning but they had a blast 💥 and that’s what matters 💕

Our session at The Grove was a little short lived tonight as we had to rearrange plans as some of our young people head off to meet Jill Scott as she rides into Bishop Auckland Football club as part of her Sport Relief challenge 💕

We still checked on the planters, did a spot of weeding and worked on some shutter designs though!
