Crowning Greatness Community Hub- Art Park Harrow
Harrow, Greater London, United Kingdom
Aim
Crowning Greatness Community Hub will act as a vibrant community space for community members, local businesses, charities and young people.
- Crowning Greatness C.I.C is a youth-led organisation that is focused on empowering and educating young people aged 8-17 through entrepreneurial leadership and confidence-building skills on becoming inspiring role models that enrich society. It provides activities and workshops that deter anti-social behaviour and gang crime affiliation through the exploration of music, arts & culture and social economic change.
- The money raised will go towards covering the costs of the space in order to run creative Arts programs for free and subsidised rates. It is set to run array of engaging and beneficial programmes to the local community including:
- The Backstage to Centre Stage music programme: Participants gain essential skills in songwriting, vocal coaching, music production, branding and stage presence, among other crucial aspects of the music industry. The programme also prioritises personal growth by incorporating positive mindset sessions that boost self-esteem and confidence. We deliver this in schools and community spaces, delivered by industry professionals.
- Annual Warm Hub: We run an annual warm hub for the community, where we provide food, entertainment and a safe space for the community. We also offer advice support and signpost to alternative organisations in Harrow.
- Young Kingz Podcast: CGCIC has a youth-led focus group with seven members aged 13-16. The focus group meets every 8 weeks and during the course of this meeting, the young people provide input on how the services for young people should be developed and designed. They have their own podcast called Young King, they have recorded on Spotify and BBC and won the Inspirational Award of the year 2023. In 2024, they were awarded passes to Cannes Media Festival which they attended as some of of the youngest attendees.
- Youth Mentorship: We offer one on one mentorship for young people who need guidance and support including NEET’s. Crowning Greatness works along side Harrow Council to provide music development and creation within the youth justice team.
- Community events and Trips: We provide events for families within the community. Trips we have offered include, the Cannes Media Festival, Musicals, podfest, snowcamp.
