Play Resource Youth Arts Programme has been providing opportunities for young people in Northern Ireland to participate in a diverse range of arts and cultural opportunities. Research shows the arts have a positive impact upon the lives of young people by transforming the way they see themselves and helping them to develop practical and social skills.

We have a firm commitment to develop high quality Youth Arts projects and are currently involved in delivering a three year youth arts project in partnership with Ards Arena and community artist Laureen McGill specifically targeting young people aged between 9 and 18 around the Newtownards area.

This programme is supported by BBC Children in Need.
