Our volunteer-led charity provides accessible and sensory theatre for children with disabilities. Fun that they can share with their families - at local special schools which have all the facilities they need or via online platforms. We also provide theatre work experience for disabled students.

Situation
Attending a traditional theatre can be a daunting experience fraught with barriers for children with disabilities. Opportunities to perform & get involved backstage are also limited. Physical access, travel & cost all pose challenges. However, one of the main problems is a lack of understanding & inclusion. Children with disabilities are constantly expected to adapt & conform to mainstream services. This can lead to frustration, stress & disengagement.
Solution
We provide multi sensory theatre experiences in fully accessible venues and online throughout the UK. Our events are affordable & fun for the whole family. We use signing, communication aids & sensory experiences to aid understanding and to anticipate & adapt to the needs of each & every child. Our work experience programme gives young people with disabilities an opportunity to shine. We provide a safe stress-free space for children and their families to both engage with and enjoy the theatre.
