We are on a mission to tackle the root causes of domestic abuse and violence, transforming the lives of children and young people through the healing power of the arts.
We provide a safe space for young people to explore emotions, make sense of their experiences and rebuild connections.
Our innovative programmes combine the transformative power of the arts to address trauma, foster resilience, and promote healthy relationships.
Through creative expression, we help children and young people develop a deeper understanding of their experiences, breaking down barriers to healing and growth.
Our comprehensive approach not only supports healing but also equips young people with the tools to recognise and challenge abusive patterns, paving the way for a future free from violence.
We are a force for change, offering both prevention and support. By addressing the root causes of domestic abuse and violence, we aim to create lasting impact, empowering young people to overcome their trauma and have the courage and aspiration to lead healthy, fulfilling lives.
EdShift @ The YouthBase is a comprehensive arts base, supporting the relationships and emotional wellbeing of children and young people aged 4-21.
We support children and their families, connect with our community, and collaborate with professionals and partners to break the cycle of domestic abuse and violence.
Since we established EdShift @ The YouthBase in May 2023, it has become a beacon of hope and support, where young people can turn to for guidance on their relationships and access support for their emotional wellbeing.
It’s a safe space where young people can meet peers who understand their experiences, explore their emotions through the arts, and feel validated, believed, and understood in a safe space.
