The Regional Youth Work Unit is helping to deliver a project called ‘somewhereto_’ which is all about finding spaces for young people to debate, play sport, perform, play music, dance, display artwork, show films, write – in fact spaces for young people to do anything related to the arts, sports and culture. It is a national project being supported by Channel 4 and is part of the legacy of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, so when the games are finished there are still positive opportunities for young people.
We are looking for spaces across the region that might be available for young people aged 16–25 years to use for dancing, performing, writing, meeting, playing sport - especially new spaces that young people might not know about or some unusual spaces for a one-off event. The space would need to be free or low cost. The space would be promoted on the somewhereto_ website along with acknowledging the donor, so you would get some positive publicity for your organisation. However, the project is regulated and it’s not that young people can just turn up at your space unannounced!
The South West part of the website has a few spaces, but we desperately need more and have young people looking for space to do the things they love.
Can you help? Please visit the website www.somewhereto.com and register your space. I will then get in contact to agree with you how and when your space could be used.
Many thanks and look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Sharon Adams
