The next B Creative project is aimed at taking the art, design and media training to another level. Giving young people the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in their preferred art form with fun, interactive and hands on workshops with creative professionals.

Our latest B Active project aimed to give the homeless, or ‘at risk’ of being homeless young people a structured training session over 12 weeks. We taught them skills in football raised fitness levels and promoted positive team work, preparing them to work as a team them in against a hostel from nearby Preston. The event was run in partnership with our local hostel (Street-life)

This magazine is a collection of the young people inspired anti knife crime campaigns. As this message is aimed at young people who better to create the messages than the young people.
