The Super Power Agency is a literacy and creative writing charity that supports children and young people, particularly those facing disadvantage or barriers to learning. We use creative writing, storytelling and the arts to improve literacy skills, build confidence, raise aspirations and support wellbeing. We deliver in-school and community-based workshops, longer-term creative programmes and mentoring opportunities for young people aged 8–18. Our work is designed to engage children who may feel disconnected from traditional learning approaches, helping them to discover their voice and express themselves creatively. We work closely with schools, volunteers, artists and community partners across Scotland to create inclusive, supportive environments where young people can develop skills, confidence and self-belief through writing and creativity.

Beneficiaries: 'Children or young people'

Objectives: 4. The organisation’s purposes are 4.1. To advance education by providing facilities, materials and tuition to service users, increasing the levels of literacy, self-esteem and aspiration in under resourced students aged 8 to 18. 4.2. 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. To promote equality and diversity by striving to close the literacy gap between the catchment area's service users and the rest of Scotland through creative and educational activities. 4.5. To relieve those who by reason of financial hardship would be otherwise unable to engage extra-curricular English language literacy or creative tuition by providing appropriate facilities, materials and tuition.
