Donate to the Young Vic via the Big Give by noon on Tuesday 10 December to have your donation doubled and help us transform the lives of local young people

For 27 years, Taking Part has fostered deep, lifelong connections with the Young Vic’s Southwark and Lambeth communities through our Participation strand. This initiative provides 16- to 25-year-olds in these areas with free opportunities to develop their creative skills and confidence through access to theatre. We offer a variety of activities for young people who live, work, study in Lambeth and Southwark, or have no fixed address.

You don’t need to have any previous theatre experience to get involved. All our activities are FREE to engage with, including:  

  • Tickets to see all Young Vic productions  

  • Workshops, Masterclasses and Targeted Projects   

We deliver innovative new projects and workshops each year that welcome young people into our building to inspire and develop their practice as theatre-makers.  

Check out some of our most recent projects here: Ballroom scene at the Young Vic, Young Associates
