The National Youth Arts Trust (NYAT) is a small performing arts charity founded in 2013. We exist to provide access to the performing arts for young people aged between 7 and 25 from disadvantaged backgrounds.
We believe that the performing arts should represent their audience, and be created by all of society; not just by the few.
However, the current economic climate means it is becoming increasingly difficult, and often impossible, for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to find expression, a voice and in many cases a career in the performing arts.
Our vision is to see a diverse and inclusive performing arts sector that nurtures talent from any background.
Our work consists of three strands of charitable activity:
With our supporters help, we work hard to ensure that talented young people are not at risk of being excluded from training in the arts because of lack of finances.
