First Feature Night a Resounding Success

The Ignite centre is open every Friday night from 7-9pm for young people in school years 7-11. The Friday drop-in has been running for 4 weeks with regular nights providing lots of things to do from games consoles to pool, table football to karaoke.

However, once a month, Ignite on a Friday Night will be holding a Feature Night in association with Roding Valley Community Arts, Voluntary Action Epping Forest and Royal Society of Arts. The first of these Feature Nights took place last Friday with opportunities for the young people to take part in DJ-mixing and Hip Hop workshops with professional artists. With 72 young people turning up for Ignite and 55 taking part in at least one workshop it was a busy night!

The feedback from the young people and volunteers a like was on the whole extremely positive and we are already planning next months Feature Night which will take place on 7th November, watch this space for more details!
