Neko Trust was founded to help build a sustainable future for the live events industry by supporting the next generation of talent. Our focus is helping young people develop the skills they need to have a successful career in the industry, and on providing access to the spaces they need for on the job training, rehearsals, and performances. We run bespoke education programmes to inspire and train the future employees of the industry. By partnering with experts and industry veterans we are able to deliver educational experiences and courses that help young people build the skills that employers need. We also provide access to spaces for young people to train and perform in the form of subsidised studio and event space hire. Our long term aim is to build a series of grassroots music venues across the UK. The venues will serve as the training ground for the next generation of talent who, together, will ensure the live events industry continues to go from strength to strength.
