Our vision
We want to live in a place where creative opportunities are not determined by postcodes or left to chance. Where all young people are empowered with the tools, skills and confidence to discover and develop their creative potential and consider careers within Scotland's vibrant and rapidly growing creative industries.
Our mission
To enable a greater number of young people to actively participate in projects that will unearth and nurture their creative abilities and ambitions.
We approach this in 3 ways:
Educational programmes
Working with organisations, community groups and schools to facilitate high quality creative arts programmes.
Industry links
Creating links between young people and creative practitioners to help promote creative career pathways.
Community benefit
Re-investing our profits to fund free-to-access workshops in Scotland's most deprived communities.
