Episode Details

Young adults in the UK feel creatively shut out, with 87% reporting fewer chances to express themselves or connect with others compared to older generations. Driven by slashed youth funding, rising costs, and vanishing community spaces, this isolation threatens confidence and future job readiness. Artists who rose through programs like the Roundhouse warn the crisis is cultural—not just economic—and disproportionately affects those from lower-income backgrounds, risking a less diverse creative future. The Roundhouse is now rallying for arts to be valued as much as sports and pushing for inclusive pathways into the industry, urging action before the UK’s booming creative sector leaves young people behind.
