Surrey Youth Justice Service Bronze and Silver Awards

The work you see in these photographs are from the Big Issues programme with Surrey Youth Justice Service running over an eight week period at Watts Gallery in the Summer of 2011. The programme informed young people about not only the art, but history of Watts Gallery. The Bronze and Silver Arts Award helps young people to aspire to their artistic goals and build on achievements. Participants found this process enjoyable, confidence-building and welcoming.

"Now that I’m on the Silver Award, I find that the process keeps me motivated to go on to the next stage. I’m looking to the future and working towards my goals."
