"We'd like to thank AudioActive for creating great projects over the years, where we could hone our skills and build a passion towards the career that we're in now! In other words AudioActive did us a lot of good and without them we wouldn't be here!"
Rizzle Kicks, October 2011
Last year our bold Trustee Amy Riley ran the Berlin Marathon to raise money for AudioActive.
This year she thought that 26 miles wasn't enough. So she's cycling from Brighton to Paris!

Thanks Amy! Keep peddling!
We’re incredibly proud to announce Rizzle Kicks as the first ever patrons of the charity. Jordan and Harley were involved in various AudioActive projects between 2006 and 2010 including Hip Hop Foundation and Bonfire Night an edgy supernatural Hip Hop Theatre production. We’re really looking forward to working with the lads again in their exciting new role.
It's astounding that 18 months ago Rizzle Kicks were involved in our projects as beneficiaries of the charity and that in such a short space of time they are in a position to be able to support us as patrons, helping us to continue our important work with children and young people. We work hard at AudioActive to make sure that the young people we work with have an influence in the running of the organisation but we didn’t expect it to happen like this!
Says AudioActive Director, Adam Joolia
Jordan & Harley are over the moon about becoming Patrons:
AudioActive do amazing work. If it wasn’t for the experiences we had, the skills we learnt and the contacts we made at AudioActive, we wouldn’t be where we are today. We’re both grateful and proud to be able to give something back to this incredible organisation.
As this is such a special occasion we thought we’d dust off a vintage AudioActive film ‘Brighton Hip Hop Festival Workshops 2007’. If you watch carefully you’ll see some footage of a young Jordan & Harley talking about how the project helped them. Enjoy!

We're pleased to announce a new partnership with West Sussex County Council, to deliver the Break4Change project Break4Change is an innovative partnership with local services, working with families suffering from 'child to parent abuse'.
The project works with groups of young people and their parents, to help them tackle their problems.

Researchers on the project tell us that this is possibly the first time globally that this issue has been tackled in this way and hence the work is really in the spotlight. The project has really seen some of our artists develop their practice a lot too.
