What's new

NGYT kids

We are proud to launch BACK ON TRACK,  a new two-year creative violence prevention project for young people aged 10-16 across Luton.

Through participatory theatre, peer mentorship, and community arts, we'll create spaces where young people can explore the realities of gang pressure, county lines exploitation, and knife crime, build confidence and resilience, and recognise the choices and opportunities available to them.

The #NGYTfamily is always growing and we can't wait to make more memories with you all.
