Arts Council Funding

By Awards, Workshop

National Lottery Grant

We are over the moon to announce that we have been awarded a grant form the Arts Council and are running a project from this Spring 2026 to Autumn 2026 entitled ‘Finding your Voice‘.
This project explores through workshops and performances what it means for our young people to ‘find their voice’ in a turbulent world, what it means to feel different and celebrates the differences and similarities between us.
We are kicking off the project by creating a performance with our young actors called ‘For What it’s worth (MULTITUDES) (small)‘ written by our resident writer and Director with our performers, from improvised and devised work.
We are very grateful to the Arts Council for supporting us in this work.
