List of Partners (also find them under services and see what dates you can book onto):
SPARKS – A weekly programme of free filmmaking workshops for Greenwich residents. Join our weekly club to learn filmmaking skills and build confidence as a filmmaker. Participants will learn all about the process of making films, including directing, camera operation, scriptwriting and film crew roles and acting for the camera. Each week, the group will take part in practical activities and use these to produce a film that explores issues around mental health. This project has been funded by Young Greenwich and is free of charge for young people who live or go to school in the London Borough of Greenwich.
GREENWICH YOUTH FOR CHRIST - GYFC is a Christian Youth Work charity who are passionate about seeing young people living life to the fullest and being all they were created to be. We welcome young people from all backgrounds, all faiths and none. We work closely with local churches to offer open-access youth clubs throughout the week, where young people are safe, heard, supported and fed. Groups will include board games, table tennis, Nintendo Switch, pool, art and crafts, quizzes, discussions, debates and of course food. We look to provide a space where young people can enjoy themselves, but also, if they need, have conversations around some of the big issues affecting them and their lives. We offer multiple sessions- have a look below!

Our state-of-the-art dojo in Greenwich is an inspiring place to learn the Olympic art of Judo from coaches who have trained Olympians!

STREETWISE LAWS - Streetwise Law, in partnership with Young Greenwich, currently have a fantastic opportunity to work with your school. Streetwise Law delivers a community education project working under the Young Greenwich Partnership, which involves educating young people about their rights and criminal law.

A 6-week programme which is completely free of charge is delivered, including the following workshops: stop and search, rights on arrest, joint enterprise, sexting and other online offences, drug awareness, the trial procedure, including a mock trial. Our workshops are delivered by a criminal barrister who brings her experience of the criminal justice system directly into the classroom.

As stated, there would be no charge to the school for this exciting offer.
