The Do Your Own Thing Co-producers meet to make decisions about young people’s work at Heart n Soul. It’s a space to share your ideas, get your voice heard and represent everyone at Do Your Own Thing. Anyone who comes to Do Your Own Thing regularly can become a co-producer!
Find out how we support everyone who comes to Do Your Own Thing so we can all have a good time. There is also lots of helpful information that parents and carers will want to know too.
