Lark Hall Primary School, Stockwell

Cancontrol Team travelled to South London to deliver a day workshop with a selected group of young people from Lark Hall. Working alongside a great team of volunteers organised by kids company.


The object of the day was to create a mural stating the school moto: Smile Care Listen Share Succeed. 


Through out the day everyone took it in turns to contribute to the mural whilst at the same time canvases were painted by all young people involved.


What made these kids shine was they all just got on with the job in hand and really wanted to do there own thing, any time we tried to help them they didnt want to know!
It was a very successful day with some great canvases done and a outstanding mural, big up Lark Hall.

Chelsea and East Chelsea Youth Club - Knife bin project

This project aimed to educate and challenge young people’s views on knife crime. As well as educate them about graffiti crime as this is a constant problem in the borough of Kensington and Chelsea.

The project involved decorating knife bins in the area using spraypaint.  Working from designs created by the young people from Chelsea and East Chelsea youth clubs.

After hours of design work and brain storming there were some really clever designs produced, using slogans such as “don’t take a life, bin that knife”
Overall there were five bins painted- Worlds End estate, Earls Court, East Chelsea youth club, Chelsea Police Station and Goldbourne.
Keep your eyes peeled if you are in the area they look great!

Concorde Centre - Homerton

We visited the Concorde centre, Homerton in December 2007 where we delivered a five-week course; Students expressed themselves through drawings and design work which led to the front of their centre being painted stating the name of the group and characters around the lettering.

Although it was freezing cold most (who were brave enough to face the cold) showed persistence in the completion of the “stepping up youth” mural. Good job Homerton.
