SUPPORTING YOUNG PEOPLE Creative Youth, our participation department, reaches out to young people from the surrounding communities, manyof whom are at very margins of society.We work with young people who would otherwise have no access to the arts; no opportunity to engage their creativity, to increase their confidence nor to find something worthwhile on which to focus their energies. At Ovalhouse young people have the chance to explore their potential and develop valuable creative, personal and vocational skills. SUPPORTING THEATRE Our Theatre Department works to support over 500 early career artists each year, helping them to engage audiences and inspire thinking; nurturing young and new talent to create exciting, radical, pioneering fringe theatre. Ovalhouse can only accomplish this with the financial support and generosity of organisations, individuals and businesses who understand what we can achieve together. The young people we work with need your support. Support the future of theatre in London. Support Ovalhouse towards the next 50 years!

YTD Raised: £0.00Although we are based in a spectacular building, we work at grass roots levels in the heart of local communities with all ages and abilities, using music to increase aspiration and confidence in young people and adults throughout the North East. Many people in the North East live in communities in the top 10% of the most deprived in the UK with few opportunities to access a brighter future. Some of the groups we regularly work with to provide these vulnerable and marginalised communities with support include: Young people Not in Employment, Education or Training; refugees and asylum seekers, Older people, gifted and talented young musicians, non-professional musicians, special needs adults and young people. The transformation experienced by participants can be substantial. Example: Michael had struggled with mental health issues, been criminalised and made homeless. He has now recovered - in part due to the support he received through DJ work with us. One of our music leaders provided him with one-to-one tuition, and supported him in group learning situations. His confidence has grown significantly and the psychiatrists working with him report that his mental health has improved significantly. helps us provide resources for workshops in the community pays for a Teaching Resource Pack pays for a class of children to tour Sage Gateshead
