Community Programmes

Community Programmes are delivered by WheelWorks in response to community groups who contact us to design and deliver a specific project, workshop or service for their group of young people.

Funding for these programmes is normally secured by the community group, with advice on costs, structure and timescale of the project provided by WheelWorks.

We welcome enquiries from youth leaders, teachers, social workers, funding agencies, festival organisers and all those working with young people throughout Northern Ireland.

Recent community programmes have included:

  • A youth consultation project in Antrim supported by the Community Relations Council
  • A cross-cultural board game project initiated by the Chinese Welfare Association and supported through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Re-Imaging Communities Programme
  • Digital Music training for young people leaving the care system from the TASK Project in Dungannon
  • Our fifth film training course for Springboard Opportunities, involving intensive training in all aspects of the film-making process for young unemployed people before they take up work placements in the film industry in Vancouver, Canada.
