Irvine Media Club has been running since last Summer, and during that time over 20 young people have participated for free in a friendly, collaborative group dedicated to making films and learning about film-making. The group have already made two films, most recently a film that highlights the dangers of gambling. The Media Club is youth-led and supported by staff from Ayrshire Film Company CIC (AFC), in order to keep barriers to attending at a minimum AFC provides the equipment at no cost and has been covering the cost of room hire when there has been no funding in place. The Media Club is a great asset for young people to learn skills in all aspects of media however we have also seen additional benefits such as increased wellbeing of participants and an increase in confidence.
