is the UK’s leading creative development agency for young people from diverse backgrounds, especially those working outside the mainstream. In 2018, Punch worked closely with over 150 young musicians, filmmakers, artists and writers to sharpen their talents and build sustainable careers. PUNCH can do this thanks to our backing from leading UK industry investors, including the PRS Foundation, Help Musicians UK, Arts Council England, Arts Connect, the British Phonographic Industry, the British Council and the British Film Institute.
