A place to build community, confidence, develop skills and have fun!
“Four years ago, if you’d asked me, Jack, or Destiny to perform at the Junction, we would’ve said no. We were shy and not confident with each other. Now we see bigger steps every year. We’ve done videos, performances, and interviews. We’re building friends and a community, not just doing music.”

“For us, you are our most successful partner. We feel confident that now, over a number of years, we have developed a format that works really well to engage our really challenging learners… if we are looking to work with other agencies now, we use our working together as a blueprint. You have this incredibly inclusive ethos…You just sort of bought the world in and said there is a world where you are welcome, and you can be the way you are, and that is just such an important message.”

“This activity is so fulfilling for our daughter, being able to interact with young adults of all possible background and ability, including people without disability. Very happy, very inclusive, very rich!”
Parent of Cambridge Youth Choir Participant
Cambridge Junction was born out of a community campaign in the 1980s to create a welcoming home of art, entertainment and creativity for young people in the city.
Since opening in 1990, the interests of young people have been coded into our DNA.
Our creative learning programme is built on principles of co-design, collaboration and inclusivity, focusing on young people with complex needs and those who experience significant barriers in their lives.
Through partnerships with youth provisions and specialist education settings, we build long-term, trusting relationships with young people, which celebrate and platform their creativity, with embedded pipeline progression pathways.
In 2024 – 2025, we have had the pleasure of partnering and working with young people at:
- Romsey Mill
- YMCA Cambridge
- Red Balloon Learning Centre
- Pilgrim Pathways Hospital School
- Olive AP Academy
- Anglia Ruskin University
- St. Peter’s Autism Cabin
- Melbourn Village College Autism Cabin
- Spring Common Academy
- Martin Bacon Academy
- Milton Road Primary School
- Orchard Park Primary School
- St. Laurence Primary School
