Working in partnership to advance our Creativity Versus Crime initiative.

We were approached in 2001, when the authorities were seeking a suitable middle-ground to allow communications between artists who were engaged in illegal aerosol graffiti activity and the authorities.

We are currently working with Northumbria Police across the Tyne and Wear regions, where we are developing a combined strategy to focus on seeking positive solutions in the fight against vandalism. Our Wednesday and Saturday aerosol workshops are a positive step towards achieving this.

We worked with Gateshead Council's Adult and Community Learning department (16+ Learners) until 2005. Our approach since this time has been to offer a non-accredited course programme to our Learners, where this has built upon many relationships with the varied departments that make up Gateshead's local authority.

INBIZ were our business advisors in 2002-2003, instructing in matters relating to Budgeting, Short and Long Term Planning and Cash-Flow Forcasting.

We were introduced to INBIZ via the Job Centre and entered their business schooling programme. Our contact with them acted as a means of focussing our intentions whilst allowing us to approach and deliver our strategy at a realistic pace.
