phoenix in the Community
This programme teaches young people to play steel pans and befriend the community through community performances at residential care homes/day centres for older people and people with disabilities. It allows young people to travel and support other voluntary organisations for the benefit of the wider community. The programme allows young people to raise their self-esteem and self-worth, developing leadership, peer education, project management, and teamwork skills to achieve their full educational potential and gain access to future employment and training through positive community engagement.
