New home of Lancaster young people's charity taking shape

The new Escape2Make centre on Church Street in Lancaster

An exciting new space in Lancaster for young people is taking shape ahead of its grand opening.

Work is ongoing on the new home of youth charity Escape2Make on Church Street in the city centre.

Escape2Make aims to help all 11-18 year olds from the Lancaster and Morecambe area, to escape from boredom, social media, loneliness and any pressure at school or home, by providing free creative activities.

The new space will be officially launched at the charity's upcoming E2M Fair, beginning with a week of creative workshops between February 15 and 21, followed by a city-wide celebration of creativity on Saturday February 22.

"Our new building is really coming to life and we're soooooooooo excited to welcome you to it soon!" said a post on the E2M Facebook page.

"In case you didn't know already our future home is on Church Street in Lancaster city centre.

"AND if any 11-18s would like to play a part in helping us turn it into a space for all young people, then they can join one (or more) of our varied E2M Fair workshops and leave their mark and it will remain there for years to come!"

E2M creates safe, kind, welcoming spaces through its creative clubs and five-week programmes that result in community events (such as festivals, cabarets, fairs and markets) hosted by local artists and local businesses.

All the activities are inclusive and free and designed to help young people make things, make friends and make a difference in the community.
