Big Team opens doors for young people from underrepresented communities or backgrounds to enter the festival, events, and creative industries.
Big Team CIC was established in 2019 as a proactive response to the lack of representation within the creative industries. Although originally formed by Team Love, Big Team has now evolved to become its own entity, working with partner organisations across the south-west to create opportunities and pathways into the music, festivals, events, and creative industries. We utilise our knowledge, experience, and network to work with adults between the ages of 18 and 30 from underrepresented communities and/or anyone who may face socio-economic barriers to work opportunities.
The core aims are to create visible, supported, and inclusive pathways into the creative industries, encouraging lasting and tangible change in the wider industry by forming a successful legacy of diversity and inclusion in the south-west and beyond.
In the short time that Big Team has been running, they’ve built a network of young people through outreach & engagement and developed some incredible partnerships with local creative and youth-led organisations who are committed to supporting us with the delivery of impactful projects with real outcomes for the communities they want to reach.
