Our South Street Kids, with the help of Youth Support Worker Sophie, have been teaching their song 'Appletree' to the new members. South Street Kids is made possible thanks to generous funding from @ace_national

South Street Kids is our free project for 7-12 year olds in and around Norwich Road, providing weekly sessions for young people, gaining skills, confidence and developing a strong voice in their community. It is made possible thanks to generous funding from @ace_national

Our South Street Kids were recently joined by beatboxer, songwriter, and longtime friend of the project, Natty, who jumped on a zoom call with our young people. We started a conversation around what music we might be making together next term when he visits us in January.

🎉 WE DID IT! 🎉 We’re absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude as we share this incredible news: we’ve hit our £8,000 target! A huge, heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every one of you who donated, liked, shared our posts, and supported us through this campaign.

We are so grateful to be surrounded by such an incredible community! Together we've raised almost £7000 to support our work empowering local people through creativity and learning. Can you help us hit our next milestone? Donate now at buff.ly/3D4jakp @BigGive

A 300% increase in moderate well-being means that more young people moved out of low well-being into a healthier, more balanced state of mental & emotional stability. This growth reflects the powerful impact of our creative activities in improving mental health.

There's less than 24 hours left of our Big Give Christmas Appeal. Thanks to your incredible generosity we've raised nearly £4500! Can you help us in this final push and reach £5000 by the time the @BigGive closes at 12pm tomorrow? Donate today at buff.ly/3BkimaG

At ICM, we place the thoughts, feelings, and experiences of young people at the heart of everything we do, with our Youth Squad meeting regularly to shape decisions—ensuring our work truly reflects their needs and empowers them to take ownership of their futures.
