Who are we and what do we do?

We are EMPOWERING!  We are SUPPORTING!  We are NURTURING!  We are CHANGING LIVES!  We are... 

Underdog Crew Studios (The Underdog Crew CIC) support marginalised and at-risk young people and emerging creatives through film, creative arts, music production and mentoring. With strong emphasis on SEND and young carers, we run weekly drop in sessions for our STUDIO MEMBERS, termly education projects for LOCAL SCHOOLS and life skills projects for HOME SCHOOLERS that build confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging - helping the next generation find their voice and shape a future laden with positivity and empowerment. ​

Underdog Crew Studios provides a safe and nurturing creative space for marginalised and at-risk young adults to find inspiration, motivation and a place to belong. Providing creative education, support, guidance and a route towards an empowered adulthood, laden with ambition and hope. Our mission is simple: to EMPOWER, SUPPORT, NURTURE and CHANGE LIVES! If you would like to know who we truly are and meet some of our crew, the short video below created by UCS member, Scout, will show you all you need to know.
