B Creative

NW Baseline recently took over an empty shop in Blackpool town centre. We have been running workshops that engage youths in art and design by providing constructive activities such as painting, photography, film production and graphic design. We hope that these activates will deter young people from participating in negative alternatives. Our programme has successfully trained over 150 people since February.

F.O.R.C (Fight on reducing crime)

Our Project is working with the young people of Blackpool and Preston to discuss the effects of knife crime. We raise some of the issues surrounding gang and violent related crime to engage the young people in thinking about these issues. We then use their thoughts to create an advertising campaign in order to reduce it.

B active

Our sports coaching sessions have proven very successful. Our aim is to promote a healthy lifestyle whilst training young people in physical activities. Our previous project was to give the young homeless, or 'at risk' of being homeless, a structured training session over six weeks. This was in preparation of a game against a hostel from nearby Preston. The event was run in partnership with a local hostel.
