The Challenger Academy

Formerly VCCP Stoke Academy, The Challenger Academy in Stoke-on-Trent is a charity with a mission to make the creative industries more accessible and socially diverse through valuable work experience opportunities, free skills training and career guidance. We believe that talent is everywhere but opportunity is not. Our goal is to spark a passion and create a pathway for young 'challengers' to thrive in a creative career within their own community.
