"Hardknock projects empower young people to transform their own lives and turn away from the negative influences that ensnare so many of our children today" Che Walker
We believe in the arts capacity to empower and change lives and use our work to provide a platform for our community to voice their thoughts and exchange their views about the world.
We recognise that young people are growing up in an ever changing and challenging society and believe the arts have a vital and important part to play in the healthy and positive development of all young people.
