THE IMPACT OF YOUNG COMPANY CITY
The positive impact of the arts on wellbeing is beyond doubt. We know that arts and cultural activity along with an arts education equips people of all ages with valuable skills and knowledge, supports personal development and fosters social cohesion. For some it is provides an essential precursor to flourishing careers in the arts, for most it provides a fulfilling creative intervention, the impact of which lasts a lifetime.
We will expand our programme focusing on areas of Bristol where we’ve historically had limited engagement, including South Bristol whilst continuing to work in East and Central Bristol. As always, our programmes will target those who are in most need, with a strategy to maximise our impact and inspire change, one story at a time.
It's not an exaggeration to say that the students’ lives have changed as a result of YCC. The programme is exceptional, reaching the most vulnerable youth in the city and ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, or privilege can experience the transformative power of the theatre.
