The Lyric is committed to delivering high quality arts provision for the most at risk, vulnerable, and marginalised groups of young people.

We believe that participation in the arts can support young people to develop confidence and learn new skills. Our Inclusion programmes create opportunities for young people who are least likely to access creative activities, enabling them to participate, celebrate freedom of expression, take creative risks, and feel empowered to make positive change in their lives and achieve their full potential. Our projects work with over 120 vulnerable and disadvantaged young people every year aged 11-25 years.

We offer a range of programmes and bespoke collaborations to design arts programmes which meet the needs of particular groups of young people. For more information about our programmes, please contact us or read more below.
