Caramel Rock has joined the Act-as-1 programme servicing youth in the Newham, Canning Town, and Plaistow Areas with an after-school programme designed to engage at-risk youth in a meaningful creative project, resulting in the completion of a garment unique to each participant.

This project supports young people with access to training and job opportunities. A chance to access local engaging activities. Allowing them to get out the house access to free share and being part of a local community. The specific focus is on recruiting refugees and asylum seekers between the ages of 16-25. We aim to support them during a very difficult and uncertain time. Support will be provided in order to help them move into and remain in education, training or employment.

This project aims to support young people aged 16 to 30 who are not in education, training, or employment and are involved in street crime at risk of long term disengagement to progress. The goal is to support them and their families by providing creative interventions. Support will be provided in order to help them move into and remain in education, training or employment. We will tackle diversity and improve participation engagement. We have a focus on young black people supporting at least 60% of the cohort from black and mixed race heritage from working class backgrounds into education and training.

Caramel Rock’s launch party will kick off with free drinks and food along with a goodie bag for the first 50 guests. Also, the event will include: Live music, a fashion panel talk, a Q&A, and designer exhibitions. There will also be a creative workshop at the Deco Building located on high street Ilford.

Spark Lab is an exciting new space based on Ilford High Street, providing an opportunity for makers, creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators to share their passions and skills with Ilford.
