Check my CVWHO WE ARE
Small Green Shoots was founded in 2009. We are dedicated to increasing career opportunities for NEETs (not in education, employment or training) within the music and creative industries. We are the only UK arts organisation with both a black female Chair and black female CEO. We have 85% BME staff and 100% from low-income backgrounds (or parents with less than £24k per annum household earnings).
Founder Natalie Wade acknowledges that some of the shoots will have absolutely no previous awareness of what a ‘professional’ job means, so her approach to training begins with social skills - how to introduce yourself, how to hold yourself in meetings, building confidence, how to write minutes. On the artist side, throughout the past 10 years Natalie and SGS have been vital in helping kickstart the careers of artists such as Jorja Smith, Mahalia and Emelie Sande - providing funding for recording sessions, video shoots and much more.
