Project: Then, Now and Tomorrow
Funding: £3,000 from Lancashire Youth Offending Service and the Arts Council
Aim: To get young people who have offended involved in art

Then, Now and Tomorrow focused on the experiences of soldiers from the town and set out to explore ideas around friendship, loyalty, duty and community through the eyes of teenagers.
