Our programmes prioritise accessibility for families facing financial challenges, while promoting wellbeing, cultural awareness, and community connection.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

PARENT, HARROW

Sharing our Peruvian culture. The workshop allows my daughter feel proud and share not only their language and customs but be part of a group where all were learning and sharing was great.

PARENT, HARROW

Singing, dancing, making a bull, arts and crafts, creating a crown, chatting with a teacher, asking questions, making friends, and learning about Peru was fantastic. He found Peru on a globe at home and asked me to look it up online, including how many people live there. He also asked me to buy the same hat he wore in the performance. David even made up a song about Peru and it was fantastic.

PARENT, HARROW

As a mixed British Peruvian, Emma has limited chances to explore her Peruvian heritage. This programme helps her connect with it, build pride, and share it, while offering a broad range of cultural experiences that deepen her understanding of that part of her identity.

Children left the programme:

01.

More confident

02.

More socially engaged

03.

Inspired to continue creative activities
