LIFEbeat

Who we are

LIFEbeat is a charity which uses a unique creative methodology to build community and positively
impact the lives of young people. 

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to improve young people's wellbeing, giving them the skills and inspiration to overcome the challenges they face, navigate the divisions in society and to lead confident, healthy and purposeful lives. We aim to build self-esteem, emotional intelligence, social skills and resilience. 

OUR APPROACH

We deliver experiential self-development programmes using a variety of culturally diverse forms of creative arts media: instrumental and sung music, dance, storytelling, theatrical performance, drawing and painting, poetry and creative writing. Through a unique combination of collective and personal storytelling; creative expression and group process, young people are empowered to critically examine ethical issues around social division, to overcome the negative effects of personal trauma and challenges and to mature and develop their own potential.
