What our donation will help fund
'Rejuvenate' is breaking new ground in exploring the ability of archaeology and heritage activities to promote the wellbeing of young people who are facing challenges, including those who are disengaged with formal education and at risk from the influence of crime and anti-social behaviour.
From archaeological digs and using flint tools, to building prehistoric structures and learning how to survive outdoors, young people step into inspiring historic places to benefit their physical and mental wellbeing, boost their confidence and sense of self, and help to change the course of their lives. Through different projects, groups of young people are learning how to bond and relate with others in special activities guided by archaeologists and environmental specialists.
