Founded in March 2023, Progress4youth c.i.c. was set up by a team consisting of two directors and two board members. Our team have extensive experience in music tuition, finance, administration and youth development. We share a desire to help disenfranchised youth access music tuition without the common struggles associated such as poverty. Extensive research and our up bringing in south London have all contributed to the incorporation of this community interest company.
The money raised from donations will fund our spring and winter projects, bursaries and instrument donation usage to other communities. Our projects will drastically strengthen equal opportunities and diversity in the community despite background or economical status. Youth studying instruments are prone to work better in teams, have enhanced critical thinking skills, and pursue further education. As well as our project making a huge change in young people's lives, it provides a gateway for employment, ultimately helping the unemployment rate decrease in the community.
