Art and creativity can build skills and increase confidence and well-being and become the gateway to future employment. This is especially important for those without a home.
Plaaslike welsynsorganisasies Dover slim projek en Porchlight het saamgespan om uit te voer "die gaping - die volgende stappe" twee week lange kursusse aan mense wat dakloos suksesvol in hul toekoms lewens te wees in staat stel. Diegene wat deelneem sal aangemoedig word om persoonlike biografieë skryf van hul lewens tot dusver in 'n verskeidenheid van maniere, insluitend kuns, photography and writing. Both weeks will end with an exhibition of their work.
Die Komitee Civic en Spesiale Projekte van die Raad het 'n aanbieding van Dover slim by hul onlangse vergadering en gestem om die projek terug met 'n £ 1000 toekenning.
