A new youth filming project in London is being set-up by the Damilola Taylor Trust to give young people in South London affected by the pandemic a platform to share their experience, thanks to National Lottery funding.
The Damilola Taylor Trust has received 10,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK, to run the Celebrating Hope' project, which encourages disadvantaged young people to utilise their creative skills to write and shoot a film, illustrating the impact the pandemic has had on the younger generation. The project aims to teach young people new skills while also helping them to process what has been two incredibly challenging years.
Damilola Taylor Trust is one of more than 320 charities and community groups across London to have been awarded a share of almost 10 million of National Lottery funding in the past quarter.
