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.

Music and Arts Week ends, second Social Cohesion week begins… and a bit of decorating!!!

The third week of the in-house Summer Activities at Get Sorted comes to an end; next week will be the fourth and final week!

All this week young people have been attending all kinds of music and arts workshops at Get Sorted. The 'Music and Arts' week was the only week of the Summer Activities that was open to the public, and as was expected, it was a great success.

Next week, the final week of Summer Activities, will be the second of the Social Cohesion weeks; during the first Social Cohesion week over 20 young people were coming to sessions each day. Given such interest it is expected that a similar number will attend this week.

The Get Sorted Summer Activities have been a very successful and wide ranging including many off-site school activities covering all corners of Rotherham; from an on-site pilot 'Guitar master-class' project to workshops with local ‘SIBS’ school groups and a school ‘Rock Week’!

We’ve had write-ups from several of the different workshops and more will follow when all the dust settles.

Also, as next week will be the last week before Get Sorted close for the summer, we'll be taking the opportunity to do some refurbishment work and giving the building a coat of paint...  Get sorted are asking for any decorating related donations... paint, brushes, rollers; the usual! All donations will be very gratefully recieved!

Halfway through Summer Activities!

Week 3 of Get Sorted's Summer Activities is Music and Arts week. Also a quick round up of what Get Sorted have been doing off site in local schools.

After 2 weeks of very sucessful Summer activities, this week Get Sorted welcomes young people to take part in a week of Music and Art; there will be many different kinds of workshops for guests to try!
