'What Can I Do 2?' event in Eastleigh

'What Can I Do 2?' is a free event to be held on Saturday 27th September 11 - 4pm at Leigh Road recreation ground in Eastleigh. It's aim is to show 11-25 year olds, who live in Eastleigh, the range of exciting spare time activities available.

Organised by Solent Youth Action in partnership with Eastleigh Borough Council and Hampshire County Council, 'What Can I Do 2?' is set to show live bands, circus skills, youth service climbing wall, army cadets, fire service, aikido and much much more.

Pictured below, the flyer we have created to promote the 'What Can I Do 2?' event. Grish art are proud to be marketing this event for a second year, producing printed event promotional material and e-invites.

SYA ask, 'What Can You Do?'

Solent Youth Action asked grish art to create promotional material for the 'What Can I Do?' event, aimed at providing 11-25 year olds in Eastleigh with 'something' to do.

Young adults and older teenagers being bored, hanging around without anything constructive to do can only lead to one thing and this event was aimed at motivating these young people to get involved in projects run by SYA and other local community groups.

Tapping into that notion of 'hanging around' and waiting for something to happen, grish art produced the following for the front of the design.



We then portrayed the effect this event had on these young people on the reverse, a true call to action. With live bands and activities it was a great success and has led to more young people moving into volunteering projects.
