SASA's Youth Programme Community Interest Company (CIC)
SASA CIC further enables their social purpose by working closely with local councils, charities, funding bodies and community initiatives to bring the arts to the doorsteps of those who might not ordinarily have access.
This work positively impacts young people’s lives including their physical and mental health, alongside developing resilience and valuable life skills, giving young people a platform to explore their own voices, opinions and arts practices with other local groups.
