The Hackney PiratesChairman (interim)
May. 2013 - Dec. 2017London, United KingdomThe Hackney Pirates is an enterprising charity that aims to develop the literacy, creativity and real-world skills of young people in Hackney, so that they achieve both in school and in the world beyond. We work with young people aged 9-12 who teachers think need extra support, and for whom five hours of one-to-one attention a week would make a real difference. The Young Pirates come to our centre in Hackney after school. Hackney Pirates HQ is a weird and wonderful out-of-school learning environment. It’s a fun space where young people can get some extra help on their homework and literacy. And we also get young people working on making professionally produced creative products (like books and CDs) alongside talented creative professionals, because we think that everyone learns best when they can see the outcome of their work being valued by other people. We will be selling the great products they make in our new shop
