YUAF has worked with more than 17,500 young people since 2009 to create a world where marginalised young people are seen, heard and celebrated, no matter their background or circumstances. They use creativity and culture to empower young Londoners aged 13- 19, to raise their aspirations, build strong relationships and take a lead in shaping their futures. Sony Music has worked with YUAF since 2019 on projects including ‘Educate to Create’ – a programme to inspire and build the skills of disadvantaged London teenagers during the summer holidays.

The most recent funding from the Social Justice Fund supported the Transform Communities project, a project aimed at reducing youth violence and providing creative interventions that will help save lives across London.
