Happy Birthday Arts Award from Yorkshire

In September a pop-up pink garden shed, surrounded by fake green grass, bright flowers and a sheep – appeared on Briggate, Leeds City Centre. This event was hosted by CapeUK to celebrate the Arts Award 5th Birthday and the creative achievements of the 3,500 young people who have achieved Arts Award in Yorkshire.

Pat Cochrane, Chief Executive, CapeUK; “Creativity is an absolutely critical skill for young people, to help them face the future. CapeUK were delighted to host the regional 5 year celebration in the centre of Leeds. We have been leading the Arts Award since 2005 across Yorkshire, Humberside and North Lincolnshire and to date over 3500 young people have now achieved their award. CapeUK are really proud to be involved in the leading of this programme that offers so much support to young people – enabling them to develop creative skills and cultural appreciation along with building key personal skills; confidence, communication, teamwork and leadership.”
