Eastside Educational Trust is a registered charity which delivers arts activities and creative learning projects to children and young people through schools and community groups. We enable young people to work alongside professional artists and creative practitioners both in school time and out of school hours. Eastside makes art happen. Our mission is to engage and educate school age children, through direct participation in the arts. We want to inspire all young Londoners to develop their potential, share their talents and enrich their lives. We will do this by enabling young people to work with professional artists, in areas where our help is needed most. Eastside's work has won many awards, set two official Guinness World Records for literature, gained two quality assurance marks - 'Learning Outside the Classroom' and 'Investing in Volunteers', won the 'European Award for Languages' and in 2010, we received 'The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service', the equivalent of an MBE for community based organisations.We make a difference to young Londoners' lives by enriching them. Young people participating in Eastside's work develop skills which help them to succeed and empower them to be confident, engaging and engaged individuals so that they are able to enter the job market fully prepared. Our workshops and projects go beyond what they learn as we believe that participants enhance their social networks.
