From grass-roots youth work to award-winning productions, Tinderbox aims to ignite a spark in people – one which fills them with confidence, imagination and sense of possibility, and helps them achieve things they never thought possible. Our work uses music and the arts to bring people together and strengthen communities, providing exciting opportunities to those who need them most, and supporting young people to build their confidence, skills, self-esteem, and professional experience. Tinderbox offers a range of creative workshops, orchestra courses, arts residences and apprenticeship programmes. We provide a year-round programme working with hundreds of children and young people aged 10-25, from complete beginners to young professionals and all levels in between.
