What it's all about

To form a youth group for young people aged 13-19 years old who have Special Educational Needs which will be called Teen Scene. The group will meet weekly at Kirkham Youth Base every Tuesday 6.30pm-9pm.

What's needed to make it a reality

Finance in order to broaden opportunities for them to interact socially with others, as young people with special educational needs have more limited opportunities to socialise.

Publicity material for advertising and promotion and awareness
Activities for young people – trips e.g. theatre trips, drama/arts workshops, circus skills, cooking sessions etc
Food
Crafts materials, computer games any other resources for workshops
Learning aids – visualization and imagery

Organisations we are going to recruit members from include:
Pear Tree School

Myerscough College SEN unit
Blackpool and Flyde College SEN unit
Preston College SEN unit
Cardinal Newman College SEN unit

We will require £750 to undertake this project

    Your project sounds great!!

    As you are a student at the University of Central Lancashire, you can access up to £750 to turn your idea into a reality. As you know UCLan is one of 15 universities who are taking part in the scheme where you can access funding, training and support from me (your Junction49 staff member) to help you get your project up and running.

    I'll be in touch soon to arrange a meeting with you so that we can discuss your idea further.

    Many thanks

    Sara
