We were thrilled to receive this award at the LGBTQ+ Flowers Awards, organised by the Collaborative Network CIC in Liverpool.

We would also like to thank everyone in our community that continues to create spaces in which people are free to express and be themselves fully.

With @cwva.bsky.social, Radiate Arts worked with young people across Cheshire to create, voice and animate this film.
Participants shared barriers they faced to engaging with volunteering and changes that could be made to make opportunities more accessible and fulfilling for other young people.
Youth Voices in Volunteering
A video has been created by young people to highlight some of the barriers when trying to find volunteering opportunities, and the steps that can be put in place to encourage more younger people to volunteer.

Today we welcomed Obie to Radiate Arts 😍
We think he’ll make the perfect office and workshop companion, he’s a 5-month rescue, he loves meeting people, and he adds a bit of calm to our office 🤩
