The individuals who attend are from a mix of ages and have various conditions, not just cancer. We would value any student who wants to utilise their artistic skills and learn some communication skills too.

Improve their communication and social skills via talking to patients and staff. An understanding of a professional workplace and the behaviour and commitment that is expected from employees.
What We're Looking For: 
An artisic and enthusiastic person  No specific IT skills are required above and beyond that of standard use of Microsoft Office applications such as word, excel, powerpoint etc.
