EASTSIDE EDUCATIONAL TRUST

Eastside Educational Trust is an arts and education charity which was established in 1994 to engage and educate young people, through direct participation in the arts, culture and media. We want to inspire all young Londoners to develop their potential, share their talents and enrich their lives by enabling young people to work with arts professionals, in areas where our help is needed most.

Analysis by Giving is Great
