Ipswich Community Media is an award-winning charity working with and for local people.

We empower people to create, learn, inspire and build stronger communities together.

Our mission is to challenge inequality by empowering people to transform their lives through learning and creativity.

We provide high quality community activities & opportunities in music, media, the creative arts and language learning for people of all ages, cultures, abilities & backgrounds.

Every week we:

- Reach over 60 children and young people through our projects

- Support 100 volunteers in our classrooms and studios

- Teach English to over 130 learners from a mix of over 21 different nationalities.

All of our offerings are free because we passionately believe that open access for the most disadvantaged in our community is vital for a healthy inclusive society.
