In the academic year just gone (2022/23) we had a record number of commissioned tours booked in. We took on two extra acting teams to deliver all this work. We toured both close to our home in the West Midlands (Birmingham, Solihull, Dudley), in the outer Midlands area with a whole county tours of Warwickshire and Gloucestershire and work in Shropshire and Staffordshire, and tours in four London boroughs. This along with our individual schools work reached over 100,000 children and young people in just this last year.
This academic year (2023/24) we have decided to keep on all 6 teams so that we have capacity for the commissioned tours as well as the schools that book us in themselves. We already have the vast majority of last year’s tours secured for this year and a new large tour in Newcastle Under Lyme booked in across the year.
Whether your remit is to build on safeguarding strategies, including VAWG, or to improve sexual health outcomes we can work with you to reach as many children and young people as possible with impactful awareness raising theatre in education programmes.
