'Our Story'
We are EMPOWERING! We are SUPPORTING! We are NURTURING! We are CHANGING LIVES!
Working alongside local authorities and youth welfare organisations, schools and local doctor's surgeries we target at-risk young people who are most in need of emotional and empowerment support. From Action fro Family Carers, Essex Youth Service, Lads Need Dads, Autism Anglia and Bright lives CIC we have a robust track record of re-engaging young people with their true inner self, positivity and aspiration. We have many heart warming testimonies by parents who regularly cite "Having their happy child back."
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!
Our USP is professional filmmaking! We are highly passionate with decades of experience and many international awards to back it up.
'Where we work'
“Harnessing the power of creativity and rural pursuits to promote wellbeing to young adults.”
Our creative arts studio is nestled in the heart of the stunning Colne Valley in White Colne (CO6 2PS). This provides the perfect base to use the magic of filmmaking to promote positivity and wellbeing to our studio members.
We are supported by multi award winning Actors, Performers and Industry figures who are dedicated to supporting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, including those with lived experience of mental health issues, those facing poverty and homelessness and young carers.
Alongside our Creative Studio base we work out of several rural sites in Essex and Suffolk to deliver safe and guided fishing and bushcraft activities, day and weekend camps.
