Children are invited to a Summer Jam festival at a youth charity this week.

There will be food, drinks and music at The Soul Youth Project in Wood Street, Walthamstow on Friday (August 14).

If the sun shines the party will be held outside the centre that teaches courses in music production, graphic design, drama and dance for children and teenagers, and also offers mentoring and advice.

The Soul Project works to prevent young people becoming marginalised since reopening its dedicated youth space in 2012.

Tickets are £2 for the event catering for eight to 14-year-olds.

Its charity number is 1148244 and you can text a donation to 70070 if you write in the text: +TSPY40£ followed by the amount you wish to give.
