‘Early Years to Early Careers’

Lambeth ELEVATE has some exciting new opportunities to bid for. The two funds will support access to creativity and creative careers for young residents aged 0-30!

What is ELEVATE?

Lambeth ELEVATE is Lambeth’s mission to ensure all children and young people in the borough can fulfil their creative potential, and to shape a creative and cultural sector that reflects their diversity and talent.

The Opportunities:

Creative Passport

Lambeth is seeking an organisation or individual to co-design and develop a new ‘passport’ style initiative. The aim is for this to map the borough’s arts and cultural offer for children aged 0-18 and to connect schools and students to the wealth of opportunities on their doorstep.

This initiative is part of Lambeth council’s commitment to closing the arts entitlement gap and making sure every young person in Lambeth has the chance to thrive through creativity.

Technical Skills Internships

Lambeth ELEVATE’s Technical Skills Internship Programme is part of Lambeth council’s commitment to empower young people through immersive, hands-on training and robust learning opportunities that build real-world creative and technical expertise.

We are looking for passionate partners to help shape and train the next generation of Technical Innovators. Lambeth Council are investing in the future of local talent, and you can be a part of it. We are commissioning creative and cultural organisations to deliver technical skills internships – supporting the local talent pipeline and helping to plug a skills gap in the creative industries.
