We are a charity supporting the integration of young refugees and people seeking asylum in the UK through the arts.

 

We deliver theatre, music and film projects and arts-led professional development programmes to help young refugees and asylum seekers build resilience and integrate into the UK.

 
 

 

 

We partner with leading arts organisations to provide platforms for our young people's voices to be heard.

 

 

Meet the team behind the scenes!

 
 

 

 

We are always looking for new collaborations and partnerships. If you think we could work together, we would love to hear from you.
