A guide for everyone involved in providing extended and cultural services for children and young people was published in summer 2009. Named 'Culture for All', it aims to encourage partnerships to flourish between schools, extended services and arts and cultural organisations that will benefit children, young people and families.

In 2008, SOLA ARTS secured funding from BBC Children in Need to run a project called 'We Are Superheroes', working with a small group of young Deaf people aged 13-16 to develop comic books that featured Deaf superheroes, and also taught the general public a little bit about Deaf culture and British Sign Language. A free toolkit to help run your own similar project is now available to download.

Xtreme Arts would like to offer placements to develop the skills of new and emerging artists by using training /final year art students and those artists who are ‘Returning to Work’ to run the core Xtreme ethos sessions during term time on either a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoon from 1.30 – 3.15pm and offering INSET to achieve this.
