A YOUTH project in which youngsters have filmed their lives in Stacksteads will receive its first public showing later this month.

The Toll Bar Bus Stop video project has been on going for the last six weeks as the Youth Works project in partnership with Physico theatre has been working with the youth of the area.

They congregate around the bus stop at Toll Bar and over the weeks they have taken footage at the location which has been used as the base of three small films set to music.

At the Physico Theatre, Unit XI, Toll Bar Business Park, on December 17 the films will receive their first airing in front of an invited audience at 7pm. After the presentation refreshments and food will be served.

The videos are part of a larger project which will result in the young people devising, producing and performing in their own film.

Youth Works, managed by Groundwork Rossendale, is currently working with youth in Bacup and Stacksteads with funding from Bacup and Stacksteads Single Regeneration Budget and other partners.
