The lack of good quality arts and diversionary activities on offer to Young People in Liverpool who face poverty, social exclusion, racism and intolerance; often leading to ‘anti-social behaviour’, low aspiration, crime and violence. Statistics for our target areas (2009-10): Crime Rate: 61 (National average: 26.6), Unemployment rate 8.1% (National average: 7.2%). We believe it is a problem that there is a low number of professional BME actors and facilitators working within Merseyside.

Continue work with Young People aged 13-21 in the most deprived areas of Liverpool, using theatre and other arts to engage participants, offer diversionary activities and tackle issues arising within workshops. Produce excellent theatre with and for Young People, offering them a chance to explore their own creative styles and abilities. We use the idea that 'Everyone has a story to tell...and their own way of telling it' giving Young People a chance to use performance to get their voices heard.
