Melt Update

MINIMELT...coming soon

2 February '09Minimelt

Born out of the exciting, highly successful Melt scheme, we are very pleased to announce our next project...Mini Melt.    


The Melt Programme was a £2m fund focused on investment in R&D to support innovative content development in CDI businesses in South Yorkshire. The scheme was highly successful, attracted the support of national and international media industry partners and facilitated commissioning relationships and showcased industry expertise.   

The aim of Mini Melt is to build upon the innovative nature of the Melt programme, with a focus on the 14 -19 year age group and to develop a programme which stimulates entrepreneurship and supports industry opportunities for young people.  

Mini Melt will be similar to the Melt scheme: young people will come to up with challenging and innovative ideas, will be supported to develop those ideas in partnership with a local company and with consultation from industry innovators and commissioners like Channel 4, BBC and Orange.

To take this project forward we are working with LRS Media Education Consultancy to map out what is happening across the Yorkshire Region. This will involve talking to educational organisations, work placement providers, industry professionals, awarding bodies and broadcasters and companies who need new talent with innovative ideas, as well as young people who want to get involved.   

For more information about the Melt program, including details of the companies and projects we have supported please have a wander around the rest of the website. If you would like to get involved in the Mini-Melt programme then please get in touch.
