Creative Kids are delighted to be able to announce that they are now a registered Arts Award Centre and have secured funding to offer the Explore Arts Award program at a subsidised rate for up to 24 children from aged 7 and over.

Creative Kids have won the funding to run the Explore Arts Awards due to their success in providing  ‘affordable, accessible, arts for all,’ and their fantastic track record of engaging local artists with their wide ranging programme.

Cary Lightfoot charity founder said, “we are so happy that by delivering this Arts Award, not only is it a wonderful opportunity for our members but we also assist the Sovereign Centre in achieving one of their priorities of raising the standards of education for children and young people in the local community, in a fun way!”

The Explore Arts Award is a national framework qualification that is provided by Trinity College London through funding from Arts Council England to run in designated awarding centres. Its aim is to support young people develop as artists and arts leaders, encourage learning and leadership skills, build confidence and help them to enjoy cultural activities.

Arts Explorers are required to attend for 25 hours to gain their qualification. The Creative Kids programme will run for five weeks from 11-4pm starting Saturday 29th October in the run up to Christmas with the final day being 20th December.

For more information please drop into Creative Kids’ headquarters at Unit 3 Sovereign Centre if you would like to find out more about the Arts Award or telephone or text Cary on 07974 543 899.
