Gascoyne 2 Cinema Club provided 20 young people aged 10+ with access to free media training over 4 weeks during the Summer holidays 2014, which improved life chances by providing the young people with an increase in literacy, communication and team building skills through the filmmaking process. The young people also learned all the technical aspects of filmmaking. The club encouraged more community cohesion, as young people attended from different estates (tackling postcode war issues) and and broke down isolation and anti-social behaviour, providing the young people with positive activities to participate in, leading to more active citizens who are now more involved and activated in their community.
