Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Maya Angelou on her birthday.
A poet, writer and activist, Maya Angelou used her voice to inspire courage, creativity and change. Her words continue to empower generations to stand tall, speak up and embrace who they are.
We honour her legacy by encouraging our young people to express themselves, build confidence and find their voice through movement and creativity.

Pied Piper Theatre Trip @leedsplayhouse🎤
Our Youth Provision members had the opportunity to attend the Pied Piper at Leeds Playhouse, presented by @BAC_Beatbox_Academy, as part of our Shahck Out Speak Out Project which is supported by @leedscommfound 🎤🎭
Our Junior and Senior Ambassadors accompanied 6 Shack Out Youth Dance members, who are completing their Silver Arts Award journey. The performance was absolutely fantastic, fusing phenomenal vocal skills with fresh storytelling that had everyone captivated from start to finish.
The talent on stage was unreal and it was a real pleasure to meet the cast afterwards! 💫

Proud dancers, playful moments and plenty of popcorn at the two sold-out Watch Parties at the Mandela Centre!
Members, friends, families and supporters gathered at the Mandela Centre to watch the 2025 Annual Showcase film, reliving the incredible performances that lit up the stage and celebrated the talents of our members.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination
Today we stand in solidarity with all those fighting racial injustice and inequality - reflecting on how far we’ve come, and how far we still have to go.
We believe in the power of culture, education and creativity to challenge discrimination and uplift communities. Our work is rooted in equality, representation and the celebration of Black British culture.
We remain committed to creating inclusive spaces where young people from all backgrounds feel seen, valued and empowered.
Together, we move towards a fairer, more just world.
