The TAP Legacy
We consider our impact to be formed on a day to day basis, these build into successful long term outcomes measured in case studies that showcase Triangle’s involvement throughout the childhood and teenage years of our young people.
Parents have reported improved behaviour at home after their child begun attending Triangle, and are often impressed by their child’s new found cooking skills!
Whether it be the student beginning her illustration BA degree after using Triangle as a place of sanctuary and endless free art materials during her younger years, or the young man who spent his childhood playing at Triangle and is now a full time play worker helping the next generation.
We have the stories of our young people’s success and how we helped shape their lives.
“I played at Triangle for 12 years, now I’m proud to be a play worker.”
~ J. aged 25
