Since its formation, Arts Emergency has supported over 2,000 young people
with mentoring, coaching, resources, travel bursaries, work experience placements and traineeships - we’ve opened doors that might have remained closed otherwise. As a result, these young talents have found themselves better equipped, more self-assured, and supported in their journey towards a creative future they are passionate about.
My mentor has been a massive support to me not just with my work but my confidence and also, I would say overall mental health.
