WHO WE ARE
Our charity helps young people learn new skills, build confidence and make connections, all through their passion for music.
Whether you’re on-stage, backstage or front of house, there’s a place for you at The Basement Door.
We're all about unlocking potential and providing opportunities for young people through music.
WHAT WE DO
We put on gigs around South West London, giving young people the chance to perform, produce and volunteer at live events.
It helps them build new skills, learn new things, meet like-minded people, and make new friends all in a safe, drug-free, alcohol-free environment.
HOW WE HELP
We train volunteers in all aspects of the music industry, providing them with invaluable experiences that help set them up for the challenges of adult life.
Whether that's building confidence and musical ability to perform in front of crowds, music engineering skills such as AV and lighting, or learning how to put on an event, at The Basement Door gig nights, young people learn how it's done and how to put it into practice.
We also partner with like-minded organisations to provide entertainment at local community events.
OUR STORY
Launched in 2008, we've been using our expertise and resources to help young people fulfil their potential and have fun through music. We've been running youth events for more than 15 years and became a registered charity in 2018. Since then, we've been working to grow The Basement Door and its impact, expanding from just one town to now putting on music events in more than 10 locations across South West London. Here's what we've achieved so far between 2018 and 2021...
