The Super Power Agency exists to improve the lives and literacy skills of young people in Scotland. Through a range of creative writing workshops, interdisciplinary programming and mentoring, we work with those aged 8-18 in schools and community organisations to give young people the powers they need to close the attainment gap in education, foster aspiration, and become successful learners, confident individuals and responsible citizens. Our programmes provide opportunities for students to explore the potential of the written word, all while promoting aspiration and creativity, and strengthening valuable writing skills.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'

To advance arts, heritage and culture by facilitating the creation, publication and performance of written, visual and artistic material by service users. 4.3. To provide recreational activities with the object of improving conditions of life for under resourced students aged 8 to 18 by providing facilities, materials and tuition which would otherwise be beyond their means. 4.4.
