1. Once in a lifetime opportunities
We work to create once in a lifetime opportunities for young people, from disengaged backgrounds, to develop their creative, artistic and personal skills. We work through all art-forms using artists at the top of their respective fields and high quality youth workers to ensure young people are receiving the best quality support. Young people on our programmes are given absolute artistic freedom to develop their performances or exhibitions in the way they see fit, enabling them to express themselves and the issues important to them.

History
The Foundation was originally set up by John Wesley in 1739 as a school for 'itinerant preachers sons' and remained that way until Mary Carpenter took over the site in the late 1800's. She pioneered reformative work with young criminals (as opposed to locking them up) and the site has been famous for this ever since. The buildings on the site today were completed in 1898 and ran as a reformatory school for 100 years until it was closed in 1991. The site is now run as a centre of excellence to inspire young people through the arts. We have 8 studio spaces and over 50,000ft2 of office space. |
