Last week, our Tutors’ Advisory Group came together at The Cartoon Museum in London for a day of sharing ideas, learning and collaboration!

The group reflected on their experiences of the National Saturday Club, celebrated successes, discussed challenges and took part in a storytelling workshop.

Our Tutors’ Advisory Group brings together Club tutors whose experiences and insights help shape the National Saturday Club as our network continues to grow.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the day, and to The Cartoon Museum for welcoming us and giving the group a fantastic tour!

Your Saturday Club year could end like this

Every Club memebr began by joining their local Saturday Club and deciding to give something new a try.

Over the course of the year, they explored their interests, developed new skills, met like-minded people and created work they were proud to exhibit.

Their Saturday Club journey ended with a Graduation Ceremony celebrating everything they had achieved.

Next year, this could be you.

What skills do young people need to take their next steps into the world of work?

National Saturday Club recently featured in a investigation that covers the skills young people need to stand out to employers, presented by Education Editor Branwen Jeffreys.

The film visits the Saturday Club at MIMA, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, where Club tutor Sophie Ascough shares how involving young people in the Saturday Club programme can help them to develop the practical skills employers are looking for.

We also hear from Saturday Club alumni Zora, who reflects on how taking part helped her to understand the possibilities of a creative career.

Her journey is a brilliant example of what can happen when young people are given the space to explore their interests, build confidence and develop skills through real creative experiences.

We are very grateful to the BBC for recognising the work of Saturday Clubs across the UK, that are broadening young people’s skill development and future pathways.

At this year’s Summer Show, we asked Club members to share what they enjoyed most about being part of a Saturday Club, and what they’d say to another young person thinking about joining.

From trying something new and developing creative skills to meeting new people and making memories along the way, every Saturday Club experience was different for them.

Taking you back to this year’s Summer Show, we spoke to parents, tutors and visitors about the changes they’ve seen in their young people since joining a Saturday Club, and why it is important for young people to join a local Saturday Club.

Saturday Clubs are free and run across the UK to give 13–16-year-olds the chance to spend their Saturdays discovering new interests, meeting like-minded people and learning from industry professionals.

Throughout the year, Saturday Club members took part in Masterclasses led by industry professionals, discovering ways of thinking, industry-standard techniques and possible future pathways.

We asked them how those experiences influenced their projects, and what it felt like to see their work on display at the Summer Show.
