MASSIVE Impact
This summer, we will be taking a look back at our first big community project - M.A.S.S.I.V.E. which was to celebrate the Millennium. How has Buxton changed? How has Funny Wonders changed? How has the plight of the elephants changed? Watch out for more news on this in the summer.
Changing Faces
This project involves weekly, after-school and some weekend workshops for local, young people aged 11-18yrs who face difficulties. We work with local schools and youth services and hope to make a positive impact on the lives of our participants. We always welcome new practitioners and volunteers to get involved.
Between September 2017 and December 2018, this project was supported by Children in Need. In 2019, we received grants from The Bingham Trust and High Peak CVS Health & Wellbeing Partnership. For 2020/2021, we have secured funding from Derbyshire County Council. Workshops restarted in February 2020.
Please get in touch if you are interested in working with us or to refer a young person.
