In awarding the scheme’s highest rating, NYA said the Creative Youth Network has been recognised “for its progressive approach to widening participation of young people across the organisation as well as its proven track record in co-designing programmes that recognise - and act upon - the needs and interests of the region’s many diverse communities”.

The charity offers a range of support including helping young artists and performers, offering careers advice, and involving young people in local decision making.

It works with 7,500 young people a year in Bristol and South Gloucestershire, across 23 youth centres.

“Day in, day out I see the incredible work that our delivery teams do, working with some of the most under-served and under-represented young people in our society,” said Creative Youth Network chief executive Mark Coates.
