We wouldn't be able to run our weekly workshops without the support of UK Youth After some writing and planning, we've now moved onto film acting technique with our 12 - 15 year old group. Can't wait to see this year's short films! * * * #raawfoundation #ukyouth #ShortFilm

Films are a crucial part of modern day communication. Through issue-led films, we educate people on issues young people face in today's society. Through education and awareness, we can create change. Together. * * * #raawfoundation #Shortfilm #issueledfilm #YoungActors

On of the ways our young people enjoy expressing themselves is through spoken word poetry. Taught by Nash Langley, our spoken word classes focus on writing from scratch and working on the pieces right through to a final performance. * * * #SpokenWord #YoungPeople

Over the last few weeks, we've been working on Stage Combat! From punches and kicks to fighting with sticks, our young people are doing it all! * * * #YoungPeople #StageCombat

Mental health should be a priority for our schools.

Shot a couple of #shortfilms on Sunday! One of our #Youngpeople people did a brilliant job on clapper duty! * * * #raawfoundation #volunteer

UK folks, super important. Photo ID will be required to vote for the next election, but University IDs won't work, risking the silencing of young voices. Students can now get a suitable photo ID for FREE from NUS UK 👇Please RT nus.org.uk/photo-id

Over 12 weeks, our spoken word performance and film rehearsals have created a strong sense of autonomy, confidence and self-esteem for our children and young people. Thank you to Greater London Authority for funding this exciting project! #SpokenWord #greaterlondonauthority

We can't afford to lose our youth services.

Young people are hardworking. Young people are caring. Young people are responsible. Young people are courageous. Young people are inspirational.

Youth work changes lives. Youth work changes lives. Youth work changes lives.

Youth work isn't just "playing snooker." It's: Sports events, dancing, singing, camping trips, hiking, volunteering, cooking, coding, robotics, homework help, career advice, theatre productions, painting, mentoring, financial management, residentials, crafts and much more. 💙
