Big Cat was successful in a competitive pitch to win a contract with South Staffordshire council to run a series of diversionary activities for 10 – 16 year olds throughout the February Half- Term break. Both were keen to move away from traditional children’s half – term pursuits so instead graffiti, skateboarding, fashion, free running and film workshops were arranged. Taking place in a variety of locations these workshops ran for the entire half term break and culminated in a Friday night disco which was attended by 140 guests including the Mayor of Stafford.
