Babylon Migrants Project is a grassroots arts organisation led by and for young people from refugee, asylum-seeking and migrant backgrounds. 

We deliver creative and community-building activities that support young people to build creative skills, confidence and support networks as they navigate life in the UK.

We work with young people aged 16–30 who are facing isolation, systemic barriers and a lack of safe and relaxed spaces.

Our work takes place across our two hubs in London and Stoke-on-Trent, where participants take part in creative workshops led by expert artist facilitators, supported by a welcoming team of staff and volunteers.
