Anthem is passionate about putting young people at the heart of our work as we take our next steps.

Further Youth Forum cohorts came together in 2022 and 2023, and this project has now become Anthem FFWD>>.

“I feel that I have a good idea of where to start after the informative talks that I’ve been able to join with FFWD.”
“We’ve had lots of chats with industry professionals on FFWD which has helped with getting one of my songs on BBC Introducing.”
“It has given me the confidence to be able to perform a song I wrote only three days after I wrote it, which I wouldn’t have done before FFWD.”
“Anthem taught me that I deserve to be heard and seen, no matter my additional needs. I want to share that with others that are yet to learn it.”
