WHAT WILL THE PROGRAMME INVOLVE?

Young poets, musicians and storytellers, who either live, work or study in Westminster, will be given the chance to showcase and promote their talents, enabling them to build confidence.

The original artistic pieces will be filmed on the rooftop of one of Paddington Central’s buildings and published onto our YouTube channels, social media accounts and website.
