    In an area known more for its rate of crime & deprivation, than for its cultural and creative capital, young people aren’t provided the same opportunities as their peers to participate in the arts. The impact of Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on our young people’s development and wellbeing who were isolated from their peers and the cost of living crisis continues to place barriers for family's on low income in accessing and benefiting from creative engagement.

    We provide affordable arts training & further fee support to level up opportunities for local young people to participate in culture. Regular sessions enable young people to express themselves creatively, build confidence & develop interpersonal skills as they collaborate & interact with their peers in a safe supportive environment. Our classes provide holistic support for young people, led by a diverse team who understand and reflect the community through their own lived experiences.
