The programme involves a consortium of major arts organisations and care services across Derbyshire, who provide looked after children, care-leavers and their families with a chance to experience live performances, films, to participate in a range of creative opportunities and to help build pathways into careers.
This research set out to prove how the arts have a significant and positive impact on those young people with care-experienced backgrounds.
What we learned from this research is that the arts do not just exist as a form of entertainment; they can often alter the life-chances to those care-experienced young people, and in turn, help to close the social mobility gap between young people who have opportunities to do well in life, and those who do not, (due to circumstances out of their control).
