Working in partnership Cambridge Junction will develop its year-round programme of activities and opportunities for the young people at the Olive AP Academy, Pilgrim Pathway Schools, the network of Autism Cabins and Red Balloon Learners Centres over the next three years. Take Two will also be supported by the Limbourne Trust, the Red Hill Trust and Cambridge Junction is currently fundraising for the last portion of the income needed to realise its ambitions.
Take Two starts this month with a three-week project with HighRise Theatre and students from Olive AP Academy. This follows another inspirational project undertaken with HighRise and Olive AP Academy and funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation in 2021. The resulting film Cambridge: Underground – More Than Just a Uni captures the creative and positive value and impact of Cambridge Junction’s work with young people.

Cambridge Junction’s Artistic Director, Matt Burman said:
“We are very proud of our brilliant Creative Learning programme at Cambridge Junction. Our work with young people is a vital and integral part of what we do and who we are. And this work is really important right now in growing confidence and giving space for young people to express hopes and fears, and so helping to improve their mental health and well-being. We are incredibly grateful to Paul Hamlyn Foundation for their significant financial support for our new project Take Two. We’re looking forward to working with some inspiring and fantastically creative young people over the coming years and really excited to be deepening our engagement with a range of educational settings across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire.”
