You Press is a social enterprise that supports young writers and poets to promote their opinions and poetry to the local, national and international press.
Join us for the You Press PLAY, an interactive music session for families and the community. Talented young artists from our creative arts, freelancing training programme and the community will perform, offering music activities, an open mic, and jam sessions
Smiles all round from our current ASPIRE cohort!
So far we have delved into the outline of the programme, social action campaigns and using social media as a creative, but we've got lots more to go! π
