Silkfutures

Silkfutures (the new name for LAB 7) is an organisation that supports young people in accessing creativity, particularly those from marginalised communities.  It works in some of the most deprived areas in and around Cardiff, and supports around 150 young people each year. Silkfutures delivers various projects and creative workshops as well as tailored support for young people.

In February 2024, the Allen Lane Foundation offered funding of £3,000 towards the organisation’s project work, helping young people to access music, drama and art opportunities.  The grant will contribute towards salary and project delivery costs.  The project enables young people to develop their musical and social skills, in a safe space and improve their life options. It also gives them voice, which can empower them within their communities and amongst their peers.
