Creative Communities Creating Change (4Cs) is a new Creative Health programme launching in April 2026, supporting young people aged 11–19.

Based at Raw Material’s community hub in Brixton, 4Cs combines creative practice, community support and evidence-informed wellbeing approaches through three strands:

• Creative and wellbeing programmes for young people.

• Support for parents and carers.

• A participatory research project exploring new approaches to mental health support.

Together, these aim to improve wellbeing, strengthen connections and support ongoing engagement with arts and culture.

Join us for our 4Cs Open Day!

Come along to experience taster sessions, meet the team, find out more about the programme and ask questions about getting involved. You’ll have the chance to try creative activities, learn about the support available and sign up to take part.

This July, our End-Of-Term showcase will see a plethora of artists from our programmes and beyond take to the stage. Members of The Voice, Guitar, Vibe Alliance, Co-Lab and Raw Vibration! will be performing musical numbers they’ve been working on throughout the term.

We are currently recruiting for participants for our next Programming Committee Meeting. You must be over the age of 16 to attend.

• Meet and discuss your own experience with others on their own creative journey.

Riya Mistry leads Programming and Partnerships across Jumbi and the Colour Factory. Previously she was the Music & Culture manager at The Standard, London, focusing on cultural programming and revenue driving activity. Her background is as a DJ and radio producer for Rinse FM.

KEYAH/BLU, songwriter and producer hailing from South London, explores the complexities of human connection and self-identity through a raw and minimalistic, yet deeply intimate lens, crafting her own unique but deeply resonant universe.

With her disparate influences from across the spectrum, KEYAH/BLU lies at the intersection of dreamy electronic, indie, hip-hop and R&B, often marrying her own ethereal harmonies and vocals with melodic hard-hitting bars to spin tales of floating through the novel extremities of everyday life.

As our Spring programmes near their conclusion, we’d like to invite everyone from our community and wider network to join us in celebrating their profound impact, together with the incredible achievements of our participants. We hope you will join us for what is certain to be a delightful and moving evening as we celebrate the highlights of another fantastic term at Raw!

Every term we bring together vocalists, rappers and spoken word artists to freestyle over some homegrown beats produced by our own community members. Submit your tracks now or register your interest in performing!

We’re inviting our nearest and dearest partners to celebrate our reopening with us! Our new building comes with many major upgrades which translate to significant benefits for our community. Join us as we explore our impact and welcome our friends across the sector and beyond.

Our Programming Committee take place every term and involves our members sharing their experiences of our Programmes and giving us feedback to develop what we do here at Raw. The committee also selects a guest programme to join our lineup in the following term. Everyone receives £20 and dinner in return for their participation.
