THE YOUNG CREATIVES
WHO WE ARE
TYC Arts and Education CIC is a youth-led arts and wellbeing organisation, founded in Portsmouth in 2013 and now proudly supporting children and young people across the Solent region.
​
We empower young creatives of all kinds - performers, filmmakers, writers, designers, technicians and emerging leaders, through inclusive, youth-led experiences that build confidence, wellbeing and a powerful sense of belonging, helping every young person grow into their future pathways.
​
At our core, we believe creativity lives in everyone, and no matter your background, you deserve the chance to explore, express, and shine in a space that champions your ideas.
TYC is that space.
​Our flagship programme, The Young Creatives, offers weekly drama and performance-focused sessions where young people don’t just perform, but also take part in the wider creative process. Depending on the project, this can include script writing, stage management, technical roles, design and creative decision-making.
​
​
​
Alongside our weekly sessions, we deliver workshops, events and funded projects, including free and subsidised opportunities through initiatives such as the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme and Household Support Fund. These activities help remove barriers and ensure creativity is accessible to all.
