Mission: Using art to help prevent reoffending by changing attitudes
Funding: £8,900 from the arts development team at North East Lincolnshire Council and North East Lincolnshire Youth Offending Team
Young offenders in North East Lincolnshire have been turning their hands to art and DJing in an initiative aimed at preventing reoffending. The project has been running for more than four years and is a partnership between North East Lincolnshire Youth Offending Team (YOT) and the arts development team at North East Lincolnshire Council.
Young people aged up to 18 who have been referred to the project by the YOT work with either a visual artist or professional DJ to hone their skills and build their confidence.
