BBC LONDON HOME
Name of project: BBC London Home Project
Goal: To give young people experience of working in creative industries and allow the BBC to build links with the local community
Funding: The project was supported by BBC London, Community Service Volunteers, the Rich Mix Centre, Crisis and law firm Clifford Chance. Funding included an Arts Council grant of £5,000 and £5,000 from Tower Hamlets Partnership
The creative industries are among the fastest-growing employers in east London but many local young people feel excluded from the media and arts worlds.
One aim of the BBC London Home Project was to give 16- to 25-year-olds from Tower Hamlets a taste of working in the sector. The concept was developed by BBC London working with Tower Hamlets Local Area Partnership 1, which covers areas including Bethnal Green North and Mile End.
