Support MAMA Youth Project

Empower Young Lives. Diversify the Media Industry.

By donating to MAMA Youth Project, you're investing in the potential of young people from underrepresented backgrounds, helping to break barriers and increase diversity in the TV and media industry.

We train and support marginalised young people—those from low-income families, racially diverse communities, care-experienced individuals, and those at risk of criminal exploitation—equipping them with the hands-on skills, industry experience, and confidence they need to build lasting careers.

Why Your Support Matters

• Empowerment Through Training: 

Our 8-week intensive media training places young people in real-world production environments, building vital technical and soft skills.

• Pathways to Employment:

Through strategic partnerships with major broadcasters and production companies, our trainees gain access to exclusive job opportunities—many go on to build successful careers in the media, creative industries, and beyond.

• Wider Reach: 

Trainee content is broadcast on ITV's digital streaming platform—giving their stories, voices, and work a national audience.

• Alternative Entry Points: 

Our 3-day employability sessions provide accessible routes for those new to media, helping them explore careers in a hands-on, engaging way.
