"Jen is an amazing videographer, she has captured the spirit of SAFE Gorton perfectly. Her tireless work with us is a testimony to her work ethic. Nothing is too much trouble for her and her attention to detail is beyond question. We will be eternally in her debt. If anyone out there is looking to capture a sense of what they are doing in anything like this I suggest you contact Jen. I promise that she will not let you down and she will present you with an amazing record of your activities."

The SAFEgorton project is a really interesting initiative giving everyone an opportunity to improve themselves. The project is in three sections.
The Community Garden, is worked on by local college students, teaching children where vegetables actually come from. There is a log store, for the eco burner, which helps heat the centre. Chicken coup, where each chicken produces an egg a day, which is used by the Community Cafe, as well as the home grown veg and salad.
The Community Cafe, is great, as it gives teenagers of school leaving age, with physical or mental disabilities, work experience in the cafe environment, for their CV. There is a computer where people can come to learn how to use the internet.
And then there is an Ambition Music Project, where kids from the ages 13-18 can come, play and write original music. Supervisor Allan Donoghue, gets local musicians to come in and workshop with the kids. And they are building a industry standard recording studio as well!
This is a project for everyone, with the great message of simply, give someone a chance.
