Saving CYTO

I have recently been fortunate to work with the members of CYTO on designing some of their shows. I cannot believe this service is thought of as anything less than a vital part of the community of Croydon, and the decision to close this down will have devastating effects on the members and Croydon as a whole. The provision of this service cannot be stopped. Where else would these young people go to work together in creating something which allows them freedom of expression, the ability to confront issues which affect their everyday lives, overcome their fears and learn and experience, in the way that CYTO does?

CYTO is more than just an arts service. To many of the individuals this is an extended family, where they are safe to be themselves, where they can build up the confidence to become who they wish to be. Please please do not let this be destroyed.
