The National Centre for Craft & Design, The Teenage Cancer Trust and Clic Sargent
The Learning team have just spent five very enjoyable months working with young peoples cancer charities Clic Sargent and The Teenage Cancer Trust, providing creative workshops for teenagers being treated for or recovering from cancer.
The sessions have all been designed to take the teenagers minds off the rigors of treatment and provide them with an opportunity to get away from the hospital environment and have some much deserved fun.
To date those attending have had a chance to produce a radio broadcast for Lincolns community radio station, Siren FM and create and film their very own animation. Sessions will continue to run once a month on Saturdays. Further info can be obtained by emailing the Acting Head of Learning: Janelismore@gmail.com or Tel: 01529 308712
