In the charity's own words
We work with young people of African and afro-Caribbean heritage through workshops directed by professional carnival artists. The majority of the children have low self-esteem and under-achieve at school. They find it difficult to socialise with others and integrate into mainstream society and their poor self-esteem is often linked to their racial and social background.
