Hundreds of children and young people across North Lincolnshire are benefiting from an exciting range of new creative activities at The Dancing Tiger Scrapstore.
The Brigg-based group got a £5,000 cash boost from North Lincolnshire Council.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: “This is about investing in young people where they live, giving them the tools to be creative, confident and connected.
“These sessions offer young people more than just something to do – they help them find their voice, discover new talents and work together in a fun, safe and supportive environment.”
The funding, from the council’s Positive Activities grants scheme, will support a series of innovative workshops combining cosplay, textiles, and puppet making – giving young people the chance to develop hands-on skills, express their creativity, and take part in performance-based storytelling projects.
The workshops include:
- Cosplay sessions that blend fashion, craft and character design.
- Textile workshops that explore both hand and machine sewing techniques including embroidery, applique, and upcycling.
- Puppet making activities, where participants will build their own puppets using materials like fabric, foam and wire, learning about movement, articulation, and character development.
This programme is part of a wider investment of almost £50,000 in youth activities across North Lincolnshire – helping local organisations provide inclusive, open-access sessions that build confidence, foster friendships and ensure young people have trusted adults they can turn to.
You can find out more about the workshops at The Dancing Tiger Scrapstore by emailing: thedancingtigerscrapstore@outlook.com.
