Spotify and Youth Music are helping keep vital youth spaces open by funding music projects across the UK.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Across the UK, many young people are missing out on creative opportunities because the spaces that once supported them are disappearing. Over 1,200 youth centres have shut down since 2010 – about one every week- leaving fewer safe, creative places for young people to connect, explore and develop their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotify announced<\/a> its aims to address this by teaming up with Youth Music<\/a> through the Open Doors Fund<\/a>. Supported by Spotify\u2019s Creator Equity Fund, the initiative provides financial help to grassroots spaces like youth centres, helping them run music projects and support young people in developing creative careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To spread the message, Spotify and Youth Music launched a campaign that highlights how important these spaces are. Their hero video captures a week in the life of a youth centre, showing the community and creativity that can thrive with the right support. Artist and advocate Kojey Radical also visited Girl Grind UK<\/a>, a youth space helping young women build confidence and pursue music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
