Ariel Trust aims to improve young people's lives by delivering innovative projects, based on best practice from the broadcasting industries. We are committed to nurturing creativity, building new partnerships and facilitating effective communication. Ariel Trust delivers a range of services that use digital multi-media to engage and motivate young people to learn and achieve. Our services include: A programme for young adults, ‘Digital Citizens’, where young people learn radio production skills and use them to make programmes about the issues facing them and their communities .‘Hotspot’ multi-media programmes where young people produce posters, leaflets and advertising campaigns that address a key issue facing their community. This might include underage drinking or alcohol related harm. Development of educational resources focusing on social issues. These resources are aimed at professionals working with young people. We deliver a professional development programme to enable people to make effective use of these resources.
