A COLOURFUL clay mural produced by youngsters taking part in a summer holiday scheme is to be displayed in a new Sure Start centre.
Teenagers spent four weeks designing, creating and painting mural plaques which aim to represent things that affect their lives as part of an arts and crafts project organised by Stepping Stones Youth Project, in Paulhan Street, Bolton. The subjects they chose ranged from mobile phones to messages about sex and drugs.
The finished designs will now take pride of place in the new Sure Start centre, also in Paulhan Street.
Kerry Kinsella, aged 14, who was one of the teeangers involved in the scheme, said: "We all helped, some painted the murals, some put them together. It was good." The art project was one of several organised by Stepping Stone during the school holidays as part of the Positive Activities for Young People programme, funded Connexions, a careers advice and counselling service for teenagers. Young people took part in trips out, outdoor pursuits and various activities based in the youth centre.
