We’re a charitable creative agency that educates and inspires young people. We develop free resources, content, and encounters to extend and deepen learning, and offer skills for life. We support schools and community networks with activities like short courses, mentorship, workshops, and events, and publish educational content in local advertising spaces. We offer alternative ways of learning, centering art, creativity, mental-health, and sustainability.   

Our mission is to increase access to education across all post-codes and pay grades; inspire young people to develop confidence and self-worth; support thriving communities through public awareness, wellbeing and sustainability; and create safe and inclusive communities online and offline.

We are working to support the Scottish Curriculum of Excellence Framework in achieving its goals of enabling children and young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens, and effective contributors to society. 

PLW is managed by a board of volunteers who are either working in media (such as the BBC), public
health (NHS), or as professional artists (Tristan Pigott, Maya Rose Edwards).
