Poetic Unity, a proud Living Wage employer, is celebrating 10 years of empowering young people in Lambeth and beyond.

Founded in Brixton, this remarkable charity has been dedicated to helping young people find their voices, build careers they love, and receive fair pay.

The Journey of Founder Ryan Matthews-Robinson

Ryan’s journey into the charity sector began with a deeply personal mission—raising funds for Alzheimer’s research through music. That experience led him to connect with young people through schools and colleges, eventually finding his own voice in spoken word. Inspired by George the Poet and driven by his own experiences of feeling unheard, Ryan founded Poetic Unity to create a safe space where young people could express themselves freely.

Championing Fair Pay for Young People

Poetic Unity has always prioritised fair wages for its staff, ensuring that young people are paid at least the London Living Wage. As the cost of living continues to rise, the charity remains committed to setting an example for other organisations, proving that fair pay is essential in valuing and supporting young talent.

Join the Celebration!

As Poetic Unity marks this milestone, we celebrate a decade of impact, inspiration, and advocacy for young voices. Read more about their incredible journey and the difference they continue to make:
