Organisation Summary: Seekers are a creative social enterprise who work with a diverse group of people from their local community to develop a range of creative activities aimed at building self-confidence, team working & technology skills. Activities include art, music and video production workshops. Seekers also acts as a platform to link young people with heritage & arts activities within their community. Seekers key aim is to engage young people with the city they live in and to help them develop valuable skills for their futures. Especially critical for their skills-development, our young people enjoy experiences hosted by our activity partners before being encouraged to 'own’ their experience by producing physical mementos and multimedia productions, allowing them to reflect on what they've learnt and produce a lasting memory which symbolises their new accomplishments and achievements.
Mission: Seekers mission is to engage, motivate and inspire young people to reach their full potential.
Vision: Seekers vision is to create engaging learning environments and unique experiences which spark creative thinking, alongside volunteers doing good to bring about positive social change.
Values: Seekers believe in the exceptional potential in every single, young person. Seekers exist to equip young people with the tools to decide their own life path and build on it.
