Established in 2014, Accumulate uses creativity to improve the wellbeing of young people who are affected by homelessness. We work with hostels and housing organisations to deliver learning experiences and showcasing opportunities in art, photography, creative writing, audio-visual production, fashion and other creative disciplines. Our activities support people on the margins of society, and enables them to increase their confidence, skills and self-value and, in the longer term, facilitates them onto their journey into training, education and employment.

Accumulate is the bridge between the UK’s creative excellence and the most socially disadvantaged. Drawing on our connections across renowned education institutes and industry practitioners, as well as long-standing relationships with hostels and charities, we are London’s centre of education for creative arts and media for the homeless. Our goal is to expand our activities, relationships and profile across the UK, and to provide creative learning and opportunities for all of those who are most in need.
