Highgate Haven

Aged between 13 - 19? Join us for weekly creative session at Lauderdale House.

These sessions are held partnership with Camden Youth Services and are held on Thursdays,  4 - 6pm for 13 - 19 year olds (up to 25 for young people with disabilities).

We work with exciting artists who lead engaging and fun sessions. The programme is youth-led, and operates in term and over the holidays, with the participants contributing ideas to future sessions and giving feedback at every stage of planning.

The project has developed from several years of partnership work and has continued to be supported by youth workers from Camden Youth Services. Each session is normally led by an artist or a member of the Education team.
