Got What It Takes (GWIT)

Got What It Takes was formally founded in October 1999 as a 12 month project funded by a millennium commission grant just short of £3,000. The initial project outline was to work with young people from the Castle Vale area in forming a number of musical acts to conclude in a performance of various styles at the end of the project.
