Pitch Up is a creative programme for young people aged 13–18 in Banbury who face barriers to mainstream provision, whether that's school exclusion, low confidence, mental health challenges, or simply feeling like the door to opportunity isn't open to them.
Over a series of workshops, participants explore storytelling, presentation, and live pitching skills in a safe, supportive space. The programme culminates in a real showcase event, where young people share their ideas with local businesses and community figures. It's about finding your voice, and discovering what you can do with it.
Pitch Up is completely free to take part in. Young people can be referred by schools, youth workers, or community organisations, or families can get in touch directly.

Project WordPlay is always open to collaborating with schools, organisations and community partners and we welcome conversations about how we can shape our work to meet your specific ideas, priorities or emerging needs.
