GRANT AWARDED - ESCAPE2MAKE
The 3R Foundation recently awarded £500 to @escape2make for 5x heavy duty folding tables and a storage unit for their new space in Lancaster. Escape2Make (E2M) is a charity dedicated to supporting 11- to 18-year-olds in Lancaster, Morecambe, and Carnforth by providing free creative activities that offer an escape from boredom, social media, loneliness, and pressures at school or home.
Through clubs and programs led by local artists and businesses, E2M creates safe, welcoming spaces that foster creativity, friendships, and community engagement.
Committed to ensuring all young people have access to high-quality creative learning experiences, E2M has delivered over 500 free workshops to more than 1,000 young people. Now, the organization is on the brink of establishing its first dedicated creative youth space in Lancaster, further enhancing opportunities for connection and self-expression.
125 young people will participate in hands-on, offline workshops during February half-term, led by professional artists. Activities will include upcycling furniture, creating recycled plastic plant pots, and designing sustainable textiles, with workshop creations helping to shape the space. E2M’s work supports young people and addresses the growing mental health crisis. In a previous project, 100% of participants enjoyed taking part, 98% felt positive afterward, and 95% made new friends.
They approached the 3R Foundation for funding to purchase 5x tables and a large storage unit. The space will serve around 50 young people weekly and over 300x 11-18-year-olds annually, providing a dedicated environment for creative learning and community engagement.
