About GL4
GL4 is a community interest company based in Matson. We have three core stands of work, live events, Youth Participation and Community Engagement. We want to break down the barriers that people feel when they think of visiting the theatre. We believe creativity and the arts should be easily accessible to all.
About the youth board
GL4’s youth board is being created to support young people in Matson, Robinswood and White City to shape and develop creative opportunities available to them. For people aged 14-19 years, the board will meet monthly and advise on GL4’s program as well as put together at least one annual event for other young people in the area. We want our youth board to work with other groups in the community and represent a wide range of youth voices.
