FREEDOM 2 Create is a 7 week art programme that we run in Secondary Schools throughout East London. It uses a variety of art mediums, focusing on important topics, such as identity and empowerment. Due to its success, we wanted the programme to have its very own logo, so here it is!

  Some more good news! We have been selected as one of the charities by Ecclesiastical to receive £1,000 from their ‘Movement for Good’ initiative. We will be using the donation to fund our art programme, FREEDOM 2 Create, ensuring that more girls get an opportunity to attend this programme and develop their artistic skills. Please read the press release here: Ecclesiastical and FREEDOM 2 For more information about this initiative, please visit: www.ecclesiastical.com/movement-for-good/

We are pleased to announce that we have been successful in our application for part funding from Redbridge Arts Council. This grant will allow us to run 3 FREEDOM 2 Create programmes with groups in Redbridge Secondary Schools and to hold an exhibition in July 2019 to showcase the beneficiaries art work. We are so thankful for this opportunity! Make sure you are following us on Instagram and Twitter to keep up to date with our progress!

  Volunteer Evening FREEDOM 2 has a fantastic team of volunteers, but we are wanting more of you to join us! No previous experience working with teenage girls is needed, as training will be given, but you must be passionate about wanting to support girls in developing healthy self esteem and encouraging them to reach their potential (FEMALES ONLY due to the nature of our work). There are various roles that you can undertake as a volunteer, from fundraising to being a co facilitator in one of our programmes that we run with the girls. Please come to our expression of interest evening on Tuesday the 18th September at 7.30pm at Woodford Baptist (George Lane, South Woodford, E18 1LW) to find out more.

      On Friday 28th September, we are hosting a music night fundraiser at Kikirocs, South Woodford.

Art Auction: On the night there will also be an art auction, celebrating the work of local artists. Tickets will be £10.
