Support Us

Drama can be transformative for children and young people.

With your help, we can offer support to the most disadvantaged children and young people in our area, ensuring access to the highest quality performing arts education, and positively impacting their mental health and wellbeing.

Why Support Us?

89% of young people surveyed say that YATI has positively changed their lives
YATI offers free transformative drama classes to the most disadvantaged children
Nearly 30% of YATI families are in financial hardship
Classes build crucial life and employability skills such as communication, self-confidence, team-working and ambition
200 YATI students gain paid employment in the performing arts industry each year.

For every £2000 we raise, 5 young people can attend weekly classes for a year at YATI.

YATI relies on the donations and support of generous individuals, companies, and trusts and foundations to deliver its work here at our home in Barnsbury and across the borough.

We have to raise over £70,000 every year to just to maintain our current offer. But we can do more...
