Chelsey Flood was recruited as Falmouth Cultivator because of her knowledge of the local arts and cultural scene. Through her initial assessment she identified a need at Bosvale Community Centre.

The young people attending were uninspired and just hung around the space being bored. On top of that, the youth centre was only able to open every two weeks. After building up a relationship with a group of young people at the centre Chelsey linked in with local voluntary organisations to ensure that the youth centre could open weekly. The group identified activities they might want to try, including fashion workshops and radio production by tying in with local practitioners willing to come to the centre and run sessions. But it was break dancing that got them really excited. When they realised they were most interested in busting moves, Chelsey was able to help the young people link up with The Works and get professional dancers in to run a workshop. This was followed with a trip to the Barbican Theatre in Plymouth to see the professional dancers in action. The Bosvale Youth Centre continues to open every week and the young people have put in a bid to Our Money Your Dream to get a regular break dance workshop and group running at the youth club.
