Our projects
Our award-winning projects promote economic development through learning and skills programmes; employability and job brokerage services; social enterprise and environmental campaigns. We promote learning and creativity with young people through schools and outreach. This can lead to apprenticeships or bridge the way back to education for young people who have fallen out of the system. Basic skills such as literacy and numeracy are also embedded into projects, so that people can successfully develop these skills. They can gain additional accreditation, while engaging on an enjoyable course that stimulates their interest.
The Homelessness, Employability and Learning Project (HELP) advises people in Westminster who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by finding employment and training opportunities to integrate them into their local communities.
Create+ inspires young people to re-engage into education, employment or training by developing their talents and communication skills through the creative medium of music technology and events management.
Play Space is a healthy living project, which uses the arts and creative media to champion The Healthy Child. The project engages professional artists who use drawing, movement, dance, music, animation and sculpture to promote to explore concepts of healthy eating and healthy active lifestyles for children.

Volunteers aged 16 to 25 design and deliver the Re-evolve careers service to their peers. They advise young people about opportunities in volunteering, internships, work placements, apprenticeships, accreditations, training and further education.
Do you want to earn while you learn? Doing an apprenticeship means you are employed and paid while you are training towards an industry-standard qualification. The Apprenticeships Advice Service supports 14-24 year olds who live in Westminster to find and get into an apprenticeship.
