About us
Creativity ignites something within all of us.
We’re on a mission to raise the creative potential of the UK so we give young people and artists the space to experiment, develop skills and be part of incredible moments that go down in history.
Championing the voice of young people
At the heart of everything we do at the Roundhouse is the voice of young people.
Roundhouse, a unique model: a youth centre inside an international performance venue. Since 2006 the Roundhouse has worked with thousands of young people, aged 11-25, over the long term. We achieve genuine engagement by building trust and a community.
A hub where young people voluntarily choose to spend time, engage with our creative programmes and access support through our on-site Advice Hub and dedicated youth support workers. We welcome any young person, but we work at a grassroots level with over 300 community organisations so we reach the most diverse group of young people. We’ve pivoted this work since March but our principles have remained the same – to provide creative opportunities to help young people develop their skills whilst offering holistic support through our Advice Base.
From the Roundhouse Youth Advisory Board (RYAB) to having Young Trustees on our Board of Trustees, actively listening and responding to the ever-changing needs of young people is vital.
Young people also find their voice through their art. Whether this is through a film they make, a song they write or a podcast they record. A key platform for this is Transmission Roundhouse, our in-house audio platform.
