About Creative Youth
Organisation Description
We believe the right to be creative is fundamental, and should not be exclusive. Creative Youth is a charity based in Kingston, London which encourages and celebrates the creativity of young people – which we define as ages 5 to 26.
We deliver FUSE International, an annual youth arts festival which has grown to become the largest of its kind in the UK. In 2023 we opened FUSEBOX - a new multi-arts venue on Kingston’s riverside run by young people, for young people.
