This campaign has now closed
To get groups of vulnerable and hard to reach young people together so they can let their voices be heard through Rapping. Most of these young people use the streets as a leisure time activity which often results in turning to drink, drugs, gangs and crime.

Beneficiaries
Situation
Anti social behaviour, gang culture, racial discrimination, drugs and crime. By providing a positive environment, the young people will be able to come in the evenings, create their own music, work on lyrics and express their throughs and feelings through their raps. Less young people will be using the streets as a leisure time activity and more young people will be actively engage doing something they enjoy whilst expressing their thoughts at the same time.
Solution
By providing a safe, welcoming and supportive environment. By providing staff who understand their needs and can help them with their individual projects. By nurturing their music and creativity and helping them to make their voices heard. By providing them with equipment so they can be creative. By setting up a record label so they have a positive outcome for their work. By setting up venues so they can show their talents. By bringing in rapping ambassadors so they have role models.
