Pedestrian has been transforming the lives of vulnerable children and young people in Leicester/shire through creativity since 1998. We are an arts and education organisation that provides education, outreach and training to young people (up to the age of 25) at risk, whom are often socially excluded, in challenging circumstances and experiencing disadvantages.

Our work increases confidence and self-esteem, improves mental health & well-being, develops lifelong skills, and gives young people a voice. We do this through three main areas of work:

●        Alternative Education Provision (AEP)- we run an accredited alternative to school for 14-16 years who aren’t in mainstream education.

●        Early Intervention & Outreach- a series of outreach projects with schools, local groups and partner organisations supporting the most vulnerable in the community.

●        Progression & Training- providing support to those interested in working in the creative sector through training, placements and qualifications.

Our mission is using the arts and creativity as a vehicle to engage, empower and enrich children and young people’s lives which sees us support approximately 2000 people annually.
