Warrington Young Writers (360G-CheshireCF-A496398)

Express Arts provides creative opportunities that empower young people to grow. The reason why we are applying for this fund is to start a new pilot project, Warrington Young Writers, where young people who live in deprived areas will be introduced to different creative writing techniques including poetry, short stories, spoken word and plays. The project will end with a showcase event to share their work with their friends, family and the local community, and they will also have the opportunity to gain an arts award qualification. The grant will pay for a professional artist to deliver the workshops, a project manager to oversee it, arts award moderation fees, marketing resources and materials. The project will support young people's Health and Well-being by encouraging creative expression, developing self-confidence, connecting with community and having fun.
