Level-3 is a neurodivergent-led organisation creating space for autistic, learning disabled, and neurodivergent (A/LD/ND) people to shape, share, and thrive in digital and playable culture. Through festivals, workshops, mentoring, and funding access support, we build pathways into creative technology that centre lived experience, accessibility, and inclusion. Our work champions A/LD/ND voices, opens up skills development, and challenges barriers to participation in the cultural sector.

We're a small team of two co-directors:

Willow Ritchie is an autistic artist from a low income background. She has been part of Level 3 since 2019 and works predominantly supporting artists accessing funding and managing the Level 3 festival.

Simon Wilkinson is a working class neurodivergent artist, writer, musician and game developer who has been making VR since 2010. His work has featured at Tate Modern and toured worldwide.

Before being Level 3 we were origanlly named JuNK TV. Created in the early 90's by two young working class artists in Nottingham. Initially, JuNK TV worked predominantly as a film company that ran workshops making films with kids in schools, youth offenders, travellers and learning disability groups.

We are the original creators of the OSKA BRIGHT film festival and have been championing the voices of working class marginalised people for the last 30 years.
