The Pegasus Theatre - Oxford

“The investment Pegasus will make in young people individually and the benefits young people will gain as a member of the group will help them develop responsible attitudes, encourage them to take an active role in their community and act as role models for their peers and other young people.”
Euton Daley, Artistic Director, Pegasus Theatre

At Pegasus, we present exciting contemporary dance and theatre work from all over the world, made by both young people and professional artists. We aim for all our activities to be both accessible and affordable.

The Salmon Youth Centre - Bermondsey, London

salmonyouthcentre The Salmon Youth Centre, known as Salmon, is a Christian-run project that seeks to work with young people of all faiths and none. It is located in Bermondsey, London. Their focus is youth work, an extended youth centre; voluntary activity in the leisure time of young people that helps them move along a pathway from apathy through involvement to engagement.
Salmon has been awarded cash from myplace for a one-year project to complete an extension to the pre-existing youth facility, which will cost just over £1.1 million.
