Since 2020, Noods Levels have operated as a youth-led creative
hub where 50% of the workforce is under 25, and the programmes emerge directly from young people’s ideas and needs.​ For many young people in Bristol, access to creative education and opportunities to explore their potential have been stripped away through cuts to youth services and arts provision.

 

In line with the Foundation's mission to fund enrichment opportunities for young people, we have awarded a grant to Noods towards their TREAD programme. TREAD will deliver 12 months of mobile music and DJ workshops across Bristol’s youth clubs in Southmead, Hartcliffe and Avonmouth. Sessions will be offered to young people aged 11 to 25, including those most at risk of exclusion. The TREAD mobile studio is a professional learning environment equipped for DJing, music production and radio broadcasting.​
