What We Do

Productions
Our initiative focuses on engaging individuals aged 16 and over in impactful anti-bullying plays designed to resonate strongly within local schools. These performances are crafted not just to entertain, but also to educate, promoting understanding and compassion among students. We believe that the art of theatre has the power to spark crucial conversations about bullying and its effects, encouraging empathy and support among peers. With a diverse array of productions, we are excited to bring these stories to life, aiming to create a positive influence on our community. Through this artistic endeavour, we hope to foster a culture of kindness and respect, making a lasting difference in the lives of young people.

Community Service
In the vibrant community of Blackpool, a dedicated group of volunteers will soon be making a significant impact by working tirelessly to maintain the town’s beauty and cleanliness. These individuals will do litter picking and other community projects. Their efforts go beyond mere clean-up; they inspire others to engage in protecting the environment and creating a cleaner, greener space for everyone to enjoy. By coming together as a community, these volunteers are not only improving their surroundings but also strengthening the bonds that unite them, proving that collective action can lead to meaningful change.

Bullying Support
We are extremely excited to introduce our new bullying support division, designed to create a safe and comforting space for children who have experienced bullying. Our platform offers an opportunity for young individuals to communicate openly with both paid and volunteer counsellors who are there to listen and provide support. While our team is not comprised of trained professionals, we are committed to connecting children with the appropriate resources they require to navigate their experiences. Our goal is to foster resilience and empowerment, enabling children to find their voices and seek the help they deserve. Together, we can create a supportive community that prioritizes the well-being of every child
