Crewe YMCA's project "Flip The Negative" which will see young people who have experienced homelessness telling their stories through workshops, using DVD and photography. Young people will produce a a Calendar which will be for sale to the general public which will depict some of the the issue of homelessness in a different light giving out real images of young people who are positively building their lives. Their stories in the calendar will be about their assets and not their problems, to re-define some of the language about homelessness and be seen for who they are. The grant will be used to provide staff time so that young people can participate in using media particularly photography to record their stories whilst developing skills and promoting their work to the community at large, The grant will also pay for publicity, volunteer expenses, software, materials, travel project overheads.
