After seeing a tour of the hub video, Ruben wanted to get behind the camera himself and direct his own content - so James from Proud Phoenix Club happily handed his camera over and let Ruben take the lead. 🎥

That's what it's all about: confidence, ability, and young people owning their own creativity. Come and see for yourself 💛

Huge thanks to The Golden Lion for partnering with us this week as part of our Holiday Programme, funded by GSW Music Hub!

Over 65 young people enjoyed fresh meals prepped by The Golden Lion kitchen throughout the week, with each young person getting to choose their own meal.

Choice and control matter to us - they help support independence and make our provision more welcoming and inclusive for everyone who comes through the door. 🎶✨
