The Women's Workshop held its first showing of the New Life Project trainees' film New Life, New Start on 20th January this year. The making of the film was a project run by the Film & Video tutor, Claire Purvis. It was made over the first 20 weeks of the New Life Project from October 2008 to December 2008.
The Project works with young mothers aged 16 - 25 and young pregnant women from in and around Cardiff, addressing the multiple issues faced by these young women and their children.
The students in the video group took part in the writing, producing and filming of the video. The film includes the trainees talking about their expectations and experiences of the New Life course and the new start they have undertaken.
The showing was attended by the trainees' friends and families, support workers from Barnardos, AWETU, the Women's Workshop staff and Management Committee, as well as other agencies and partners of the Workshop.
The video group presented the video to the audience and received certificates. The audience greatly enjoyed the showing and were treated to a buffet lunch afterwards.
The trainees have now gone on to various volunteering opportunities in the community. The New Life project staff would like to thank the group for their hard work and congratulate them on their excellent achievements.
