Summary
I want to help local teenagers get the best start in life. I have been working in a school in a very disadvantaged area, and want to help them help other children in the area. Their local library is under threat, and I want to provide an alternative after school in the school library, with the students as staff. I want them to create storybags to use reading in the community, a courtyard for the library, a functioning garden, and baby and toddler groups held in the library. This will help them to establish a basis for a future career.
