Culture Works East (CWE) is an award winning youth arts organisation that specialises in the use of high quality arts, media and creativity to inspire children and young people to discover and reach their full potential.

Founded in 2009, CWE’s vision is about long-term change for participants by finding ways to encourage progression so that they can develop a growing interest in the arts, sustain their new-found skills and use them to flourish.

Activities are developed by the creative team, bringing together inspirational professionals with experienced youth arts practitioners and specialists.

They mentor participants to develop a range of creative and media skills as well as personal, social and transferrable skills in a safe and fun environment.
