Esther Crichton, long term supporter of Teens Unite joined us to host a brand new workshop in Colchester on Friday night, working alongside CLIC Sargent.
5 young people joined us for the evening and expressed themselves through colour and process.
Esther took them through step by step, starting with choosing 3 colours that they felt drawn to and writing a personal message or inspirational quote on the base of their canvas, that only they would know was there once the painting was complete.
They applied the first layer of paint using their hands to move the paint across their prepared canvas. They built up the layers and swirled the paint creating their own individual piece.
Every canvas was adorned with beads, gems and sparkles, finishing with a sprinkling of glitter and a wish.
The room was filled with joy, laughter and chat, whilst everyone beavered away on their beautiful canvas. The process Esther shared allowed us all to create an individual piece, go through a creative journey and create something to be proud of.
Workshops like these encourage team work and interaction, uplifting the young people's state of mind and allowing them to enjoy a new experience together.
A BIG thank you to Esther for continuing to support Teens Unite and offering a fantastic opportunity for the young people we support to express themselves and try something creative.

Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
