Main Event Youth Arts Festival

Organising an event can be very stressful but is an amazing thing to do.  

Youth For Youth started by some young people who approached the Kingswood Foundation, now the Creative Youth Network (CYN).

Here at Y4Y, we have overcome many challenges from health and safety to low attendance numbers.

If you would like to organise an event here are some handy tips on how to do it:

  • Contact your local councils arts department to find out about funding and what licences etc that you need
  • Research venues & entertainment
  • Promote your event
  • Contact Y4Y for support and advice

We are always looking for volunteers at Youth For Youth, so if you would like to get involved from performing to organising the events please email info@youth4youth.co.uk.

More on the above to come next time!
