In the media room, members have the opportunity to get involved with coding, gaming, video recording and editing, and graphic design.

Volunteers can get involved in our daily media sessions, and also get involved in Legacy’s Media Squad, where a group of senior members aged 14+ create youth led content; this could be posters around the Youth Zone or social media content particularly on TikTok.
