Comics Youth CIC

Our mission is to provide a voice for marginalised young people including care leavers, LGBTQIA YP, SEND YP, looked after children, young carers, and young people experiencing mental ill-health by providing them the tools to express themselves, improve their literacy, speak truth to power and have their voices heard through publishing zines and comics about salient community issues

Saturday Comics Workshop takes place every week:

Learn how to make comics, plan a zine, practice your art, get an idea off the ground, and browse our ever-growing library of comics.
