Finding work in Doncaster

Real Skills for Real Opportunities took a creative approach to tackling issues that stop people looking for work.

Mental health issues or time taken up caring for a family member can have a massive impact on an individual's confidence and employability
Using drama to think about what 'could be'

Drama helps you to practise new situations and see experiences from a different perspective, as well as building confidence and improving relationships.
Creative club inspires adults with learning disabilities

Not everyone can easily access the tools and inspiration they need to be creative.

Blank Canvas brought a group of adults with learning disabilities together with artists who went with them on this journey.
Board game helps young women explore real life issues

The Women's Centre in Doncaster supports girls and women as they take control of their lives. The board game is designed to get girls and women talking about the issues they face in their lives such as problems at home, dealing with bullying, self esteem and confidence.
Using the arts in Approved Premises

Our artists' task was to create a leaflet dispelling some of the myths about Approved Premises (previously called Bail Hostels) and give prisoners access to the real story, told by men just like them living in Approved Premises.

The arts applied to real life issues
