Brave Island

Brave Island is a new dedicated platform for 14 to 25-year-olds on the Isle of Wight.

It was created by Ventnor Exchange in partnership with OnTheWight thanks to funding by Arts Council England and the Mike Howley Trust.

In these difficult times it will provide much needed opportunities, training and support, all made available for free.

Below are some of the articles featuring Brave Island.
