Story

This page is for people who wish to support our efforts to develop the talents of local young people of colour. Having recently completed our new building, we have launched Factory Youth on the second floor dedicated to bringing young people into the arts, creative and cultural fields. 

We provide education and training programmes to develop creative skills, along with mentoring and employability support to help young people into employment or to start their own creative enterprises.

After over 30 years in our building, we are as committed as ever to making a real difference to people’s lives in our community, with projects that provide real benefit for personal, social and emotional well-being, as well as supporting the development of emerging professionals seeking to build careers in the creative and cultural industries. We aim to unlock potential and provide a platform from which individuals, in particular, young people can learn new skills, aim higher, achieve more and ultimately live fulfilling lives.

Our three strands of work – Art, Education and Enterprise – offer a platform for the unseen and unheard. We provide routes to empowerment through building aspiration, nurturing latent artistic talent and widening engagement with the arts.

 We hope to provide a community asset for years to come. The achievement of this goal will ensure that 198 can continue to grow and thrive, benefiting more people and providing a space where people are valued, contributing to the strength and resilience of Brixton. We believe that we make a difference to people’s lives and we hope that you will want to join with us to make this happen.
