St Mary's youth group
Forging new relationships - St Mary's Youth Group, Wrexham
​
St Mary's has an aim of bringing diverse groups of young people to come together and work on issues that may affect their community.
TCC is delighted to be working with the group - we are establishing links and developing youth activism training, including the use of craftivism as a mode of societal change.
Onwards!
"Craftivism is a powerful way of expressing political, social and cultural values – and at the moment, lots of people feel disenfranchised from the political system but are more politically engaged. So you find outlets to channel that energy and express yourself"
― Natalie Melton, creative director of the Crafts Council
Our work with young people is funded by the Paul Hamlyn and Esmée Fairbairn Foundations through the Act for Change Fund.
