This is an amazing idea! Good work so far!!!

5-Aug-2010 1.07PM   Rae Twidale Says...

I think it is a great idea and should be given as much support as possible. Young people need to know they are valued and as volunteers they are making a difference not only for themselves but for others and by recycling they are helping the environment. More young people should be inspired by this project.

i support this one:-)

4-Aug-2010 9.08PM   Clare Louise Clark Says...

I think that this is a brilliant idea, not only does the project help get young people interested in volunteering, encourage recycling and dismiss the fast fashion ideals that are set in young people today, this idea provides a space for young people to exhibit and sell their work, practice in arts and crafts and just generally be creative in an area (Scunthorpe), where creativity is not encouraged or supported as much as it should be because of a lack of creative jobs in this area. I always
