We worked with arts organisations and venues across Cumbria and North Lancashire to facilitate work placements for our participants. In the time of Covid, this was not without its challenges – many placements took place virtually but both participants and hosts rose to the occasion beautifully.
Hosts & Mentors
Our Mentoring Programme
There is a severe lack of support to the teachers at this school. They throw children your way at ANY point during the year and if you’ve taken the time to organize a routine for your classroom, you can forget about it. The school definitely has a good reputation but it is all about keeping your employees happy just as much as the parents and children involved at the school.

Meet our hosts!
