Description: Our group prides itself on inclusivity for all and we reach families who may not be able to afford activities like this for their children. We have a proportion of children with additional needs such as autism and ADHD who benefit hugely from our sessions as well as teenagers and young adults from the LGBTQ+ community. The children gain enormous skills from acting, singing, dancing, technical theatre and working as part of a group and we see this from the day they join. Increase in confidence, making friends, positive mental health and for some it is the only social interaction they have (outside of school) where they can be themselves and embrace the safe environment we provide.

Arts Central Youth works with communities, organisations, funders and creative individuals as a voice for positive change, to improve and expand the landscape in which creative participation can take place. We work to address inequalities in access to creative participation, promote inclusivity, connect people and communities, and seek to increase awareness of the links between creativity and wellbeing.
Services delivered: We provide a safe space each week for children from all background to learn about performing arts, music and stage performances.
Services are available: Face to face, Online/digitally
