Our 30th anniversary montage captures the incredible journey we've been on since 1995 — from our grassroots beginnings to becoming a pioneering force for young creative talent in Lewisham and beyond.
Over the years, we've supported more than 36,000 children, young people, and adults — many from underrepresented backgrounds including those who are neurodiverse, disabled, deaf, unemployed, refugees, migrants, white working-class, or part of the global majority.
Through training, mentorship, and access to opportunities, we've empowered the next generation to grow their skills, launch careers, and make lasting, positive change in their lives and communities.
Featuring past and present participants, staff, patrons, and board members, the montage honours the milestones, memories, and moments that have defined our story.
As we mark 30 years of inspiring creative minds, we're excited for what’s next — and invite you to be part of the future with us.
