Company activities and impact

Our mission is to increase access to professional performing arts training and creative opportunities for children and young people, regardless of background or financial circumstance. Based in Lambeth, The Boury Academy provides affordable training, industry pathways, wellbeing support, and a safe creative community for young people aged 4–24. We believe the performing arts should be accessible to everyone. Our work is rooted in representation, inclusion, and removing barriers to participation. Through our training programmes, partnerships, professional rehearsal studios, and outreach work, we aim to empower young people to build confidence, creativity, ambition, and long-term life skills both inside and outside of the arts. During the financial year April 2025 – March 2026, our activities benefited the community in the following ways: - We directly supported approximately 3,500 children and young people across Lambeth and surrounding areas through weekly training, outreach, performances, workshops, school partnerships, and community programmes. - Our wider indirect reach exceeded 10,000 people through public performances, community events, industry partnerships, and the professional productions rehearsing within our studios. - We continued to deliver affordable weekly performing arts training to hundreds of young people, while maintaining subsidised and fully funded access routes for families facing financial barriers. - We expanded our Young Company programme and continued supporting students into professional training and employment pathways across theatre, television, and screen industries. - Multiple students and alumni secured professional opportunities across the West End and wider creative industries, with alumni now working across stage and screen. - We delivered large-scale holiday provision, workshops, and performances, including community-access productions and low-cost creative opportunities during school holidays. - We strengthened our partnerships with local schools including Reay, Henry Fawcett, Walnut Tree Walk, Richard Atkins and Wyvil Primary School, delivering arts enrichment, wellbeing-focused workshops, and accessible creative experiences for pupils. - We further developed our role as a professional creative hub, with West End productions, touring companies, auditions, rehearsals, castings, and independent artists regularly using our studio spaces. - We continued our commitment to wellbeing support for young people and families through our in-house trauma-informed practitioner and wider pastoral support systems, supported by The Walcott Foundation. - We secured significant multi-year investment through the Community Connections Fund to support the embedding of The Boury Academy as a long-term community arts anchor within Lambeth. - We expanded our staffing structure, partnerships work, and mentoring opportunities, including paid mentoring and leadership pathways for young people interested in careers within the arts sector. - We continued to operate our Artist Incubator initiative, providing affordable creative space access for emerging artists and creatives who would otherwise be excluded from professional rehearsal environments. - We represented the importance of grassroots arts organisations through advocacy, partnership work, and participation in borough-wide conversations around youth provision, inclusion, and access to the arts. - Our Director was once again recognised within the NatWest WISE100 and SE100 lists, celebrating leading women in social enterprise and the impact of socially driven organisations across the UK. Despite rising operational costs and increasing pressure on grassroots organisations nationally, demand for our work continued to grow. The Boury Academy remains a trusted safe space for children, young people, families, artists, and the wider community. Alongside arts training, we continue to provide emotional support, stability, representation, and meaningful progression opportunities for the young people we work with.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our stakeholders include children and young people aged 4–24, families, local schools, community partners, artists, and the wider Lambeth community. We regularly consult with participants and families through surveys, informal feedback sessions, parent forums, and ongoing pastoral conversations. Feedback from young people and parents directly informs programme development, access planning, wellbeing provision, and organisational priorities. Our Youth leadership pathway continues to grow and plays an important role in ensuring young people are involved in decision-making processes across the organisation. We also continue to create leadership opportunities for older students through mentoring, volunteering, paid assistant teaching roles, and work experience placements. This year we further strengthened our commitment to wellbeing support through our in-house trauma-informed practitioner model, allowing students and families to access additional emotional support alongside creative training. We also regularly evaluate our impact through attendance monitoring, demographic data, participation tracking, progression outcomes, and community feedback. This allows us to better understand barriers to access and ensure our provision remains inclusive and responsive to local need. Our studio users, partner organisations, schools, and professional collaborators also contribute feedback which shapes the ongoing development of our rehearsal spaces and community programmes. As our role within Lambeth’s cultural landscape continues to grow, we remain committed to ensuring that children and young people remain at the centre of all organisational decision making.
