This exciting new project is designed to help unemployed and economically inactive people living in the Lincolnshire district of East Lindsey raise their confidence and aspirations so they are better able to take advantage of job and/or training opportunities. Participants will be supported through a combined programme of cross-arts activities and 1-2-1 mentoring and the chance to work creatively with artistic talent drawn from across the region.

Currently we are recruiting artists and mentors to lead sessions and will be shortly advertising places for our first cohort of participants.

The project lasts though until August 2010 so there is plenty of time to get involved. Please contact Firebird in the first instance if you are interested in any aspect of the programme.

Project Personnel: Project Manager - Obi Chiejina, Project Evaluator - Emma Brown.

Our partners: Lincolnshire Dance, Schools Improvement Service, JobCentrePlus, East Lindsey District Council.

This project is funded by the European Social Fund and Lincolnshire County Council.
