Access, Inclusion and Projects
The same opportunity. The same quality. The same belief in what they can become.

Access & Inclusion by Design
Access to Learn
We create free and supported opportunities that allow young people to explore creative and technical subjects regardless of family income.
This includes our free National Saturday Club pathways, summer creative programmes, funded workshops and other community learning opportunities.

Access to Tools
Creative ambition should not depend on what equipment exists at home.
Across our programmes, we provide the equipment, materials and specialist tools needed to take part fully. Through Sew It Forward, creatives can also borrow a sewing machine to continue practising, developing their skills and making independently at home.

Access to Possibilities
Through visits to leading creative and cultural spaces, young people are able to see what is possible beyond the classroom. Some of the places we have visited include Burberry, the Barbican, the V&A, Central Saint Martins and the Royal Opera House, alongside exhibitions, masterclasses and opportunities to hear directly from industry professionals.
Access to be Seen
We create opportunities for young people to have their work seen, celebrated and taken seriously. This includes exhibiting at Somerset House alongside young people from across England, taking part in National Saturday Club showcases, and presenting work through our own end-of-year Summer Showcase, fashion shows and exhibitions of creativity.
These moments give young people the experience of seeing their ideas move beyond the classroom and being recognised by family, friends, peers and wider audiences.

What this means to us
We want fewer young people to feel that creativity, technology or specialist education is “not for people like me.”
We want cost and postcode to matter less, and difference to be understood rather than treated as a barrier.
Access means the tools, people, places, qualifications and experiences that help young people imagine more for themselves — sometimes beginning with something as simple as a piece of fabric, a sewing machine, a robot, a trip, a runway, or someone saying, “You belong here too.”
