South Street Kids
Free creative media, music, radio and art project
South Street Kids is an award-winning project, developed in 2015, providing free weekly sessions for young people, gaining skills, confidence and developing a strong voice in their community – reflecting the diverse communities that surround Westgate Ward, and Ipswich.
We organise trips, media training, workshops in film music, theatre, art and media - all designed to engage young people and ensure they feel a part of their town. South Street Kids is a project aimed at kids aged 7 – 12 years old, who live in and around Norwich Road.
South Street Kids focusses on young people who may otherwise miss out and enables them to fulfil their creative potential providing ‘creative conversations’ with young people, designed to help them talk about their experiences and challenges during difficult periods.
South Street Kids use creative activities to help support and develop resilience and positive mental health.
100% of our beneficiaries tell us they have been feeling connected to their community and closer to people since joining South Street Kids, ultimately increasing social links and ties.
Saturdays 11am – 12.30pm Eastern Angles Centre
