Education provider given £500k boost
A creative education provider has been given a half a million-pound capital investment to double its education capacity and to help create over 20 new jobs in 2023.
boomsatsuma, which has been connecting students to the creative industries since 2008, has been given the investment by Bristol & Bath Regional Capital.
The investment will help the specialist training organisation build on its mission to provide pathways for young people, particularly those from the city’s marginalised communities, into the creative and digital industries.

The investment from Bristol & Bath Regional Capital – the West of England’s first home-grown impact investor – means boomsatsuma will now be able to reach twice as many people with its education offering and it will be able to increase its higher education programme.
Mark Curtis, creative director at boomsatsuma, said: “We are passionate about Bristol, its richly diverse communities, and its world-leading creative and digital industries.
“We believe that every young person should have the same opportunity to access an education that delivers on that young person’s aspiration, regardless of their economic or cultural background.
“This investment takes the brakes off our plans that were slowed by the last three years of access restrictions from Covid and means that we can reach twice as many young people from across the city and this investment means we can confidently begin recruiting for over 20 new jobs this year alone.”
