We are a local user-led, community, arts & media provision whose primary purpose is to create accessible and inclusive opportunities for primarily (but not exclusively) young people and those with disabilities to engage in high quality and affordable activities. We will be at the Peace Festival to promote our ongoing work with communities in York & North Yorkshire and our upcoming 30th Anniversary in 2012.
