Children in Need Success

Playtrain is celebrating the success of a grant awarded by BBC Children in Need to develop another exciting arts programme for Children and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) users at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Make Your Mark will enable young people accessing CAHMS to devise their own arts programme and work alongside a professional arts team to develop their own arts practice. Young people will choose from a wide menu of digital, visual, craft and literary based arts to create art works for public exhibition and events.

As well as provide opportunities for personal and creative development Make Your Mark aims to:

  • provide a stimulus for conversation and interaction between family members and peers
  • explore ways that the hospital visual environment can be enhanced and developed by young people’s artworks
  • increase self esteem, personal interests, fulfilment and aspiration

Playtrain is now recruiting the Make Your Mark creative team. Please contact sandra@playtrain.org.uk for further information and details about how to apply.
