Social Cohesion summer sessions on film!

Video from Get Sorted Summer Activities!

Over the summer Get Sorted held a series of workshops aimed at 'Social Cohesion' of young people in Rotherham. Each session was a well attended, and as such, the workshop programme was a sucess. Here is a video recently produced documenting some of the activities that took place! More Get Sorted videos can be found at our YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/GetSortedMusic

End of the Year!

Summer Activities end and Get Sorted close for the Summer Break – open again 5th September!

The last week of the Summer Activities was the second of our Social cohesion weeks, and sure enough it was really well attended and received, and the benefit to the young people was plain to see.

This year’s summer activities have been a great success, we’ve had a whole spread of different projects both on-site and in schools across Rotherham. Click here to read some of the reports of these activities… and keep your eye on the blog for more reports to come in September.

After these four weeks and a busy year, Get Sorted will close until Monday 5th September when normal business will resume… in the down time, please help spread the Get Sorted word by ‘liking’ out Facebook page and inviting others to do the same!

Arts and Crafts Week over - 2nd Week of Social Cohesion Starts!

Young people from Clifton School return for the final week of Get Sorted Summer Activities!

The last week of Get Sorted’s summer activities is under way and as young people from Clifton school return to take part in activities geared to towards social cohesion the building is yet again alive!

Whilst the young people take part in all manner of activities and workshops Get Sorted will be getting a lick of paint... it's still not too late to donate decorating materials, so if you can donate anything please do get in touch!

Also, after a busy month of both on-site and off-site activities, this is the last week before Get Sorted closes for the summer, with Friday 19th August being the last day of term, reopening Monday 5th September.

Summer Activities are under way!

As the Get Sorted Summer Activities get under way the building is buzzing with people and Get Sorted staff are holding events at local schools and communities!

The Social Cohesion group is already a big success. At the start of Monday morning there were only a few young people involved... by the end of the day there were 14... this morning there are 24! The young people, predominantly from Clifton school, have been taking parts in a variety of activities, and judging by the noise levels, they're having a ball!

Upstairs in the Multimedia room a group from Aston are taking part in activities - including making a group recording, working with DJ and other recording equipment and using instruments - paid for by the Aston-cum-Aughton Volunteers Forum.

In the coming weeks Get Sorted will be hosting activities on-site for several different groups and will be heading out into the communities to deliver a range of activities, including a Glee Club in Wath, mixed Music and Arts at West Melton, Rock Band development at Swinton working with young people due to start comprehensive school in September and a Drums and Guitar Workshop at Rawmarsh Rosehill!

There's plenty happening basically, so keep your eyes on the blog to make sure you don't miss anything!
