Outreach
New Company aims to develop its mentoring approach by involving children and young people from diverse communities. For example, New Company has worked with ‘A-Space’, a Hackney-based, educational and support centre, to run outreach workshops within this vibrant, vividly multi-cultural but economically deprived community. It also recently toured ‘Between the Lines’ to community centres in North and East London.
