People, Places & Programmes : Working Class Creatives Database


Since forming in 2021, Working Class Creatives Database has grown into a UK-wide network of over 2,000 creatives sharing of opportunities, skills and knowledge in a cultural climate that can be actively hostile to those from working class backgrounds.  At Route, we know all too well how impenetrable the music industry can be without prior connections or financial support, so we caught up with WCCD to learn more about their work dismantling barriers across the arts, engaging with communities outside of major cities and bringing people together.
