Comics Youth SCIO is a charity for children and young people aged 8-25, based in Dundee. We deliver comics-based literacy, sequential art, publishing and wellbeing projects, as well as comics workshops at community spaces and other organisations around the city.

We are a lived experience led organisation – as young people we struggled with mental ill-health and tackled issues such as chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. We use our platform as an organisation to give young people ownership of their own narratives, and our work focuses on building resilience, mental wellbeing and literacy through creativity and comic-making. It’s vitally important for young people to see themselves represented, and it is our mission to amplify their voices as much as possible and involve them in every step of the work that we do.

If you’d like to collaborate with us on a potential project, feel free to get in touch!
