Aim

Funding is needed to engage an experienced drama facilitator to provide young people with disabilities skills for employment in the arts.


Many young people with disabilities use the magic of theatre to access, or make sense of, the world around them.  Isolation during the pandemic has left these vulnerable young people anxious & unprepared for the future.

Above is a photo of George, George joined our Work Experience Programme for Students with additional needs, receiving training as a Voice Over artist and Stage Manager on the film set of "Canvas Castles".   

Our volunteer-led charity wishes to expand our Work Experience Programme providing them with accredited drama workshops.   Funding is needed to engage an experienced drama facilitator to make this happen and provide these young people with the skills for employment in the arts. 

With your support we can expand our Work Experience Programme providing accredited drama workshops for young people like George, that will enhance the employment opportunities for even more young people with disabilities. 

Each year the Programme enriches the lives of twenty young people, providing them with the skills necessary to gain employment within the theatre or film industry or enrol onto a London drama course.   Your funding will  help us support even more young people into further education or employment.
