About Us

What is TheSprout?

TheSprout is Cardiff’s online magazine and information website for 11-25’s, by 11-25’s and organisations that wish to support them.

The site is split into two main sections: info, and blog.

Info is where you can find lots of information and support for topics affecting young people such as leaving school, bullying, and money worries. Under each section, you’ll find a bunch of really handy links to local and national organisations which can help you out with whatever you may need.
Blog is where our amazing articles written by young people are shared. There’s something here for everyone – from local opportunities, reviews of the latest films, and raising awareness of important issues like children’s and young people’s rights.

Each season, we release a new campaign surrounding issues that matter to young people, by young people in Cardiff. Here’s a few of our recent campaigns:
