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.

At our not-for-profit organisation, we firmly believe in harnessing the strength of community and the vital role of giving back. While our reputation is built on our initiatives in performing arts and education, our dedication reaches much further. We actively engage in fundraising efforts for various community interest companies (CICs) and charities, ensuring that organizations like Children in Need and Comic Relief receive essential support. By fostering collaboration and encouraging community involvement, we strive to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those who need it most. Together, we empower individuals and promote positive change, reinforcing our commitment to building a better future for everyone.

Fundraising

Open Meetings

At the heart of our organisation lies a commitment to nurturing a robust relationship with the community we serve. We believe that open communication is key, which is why we hold regular open meetings that invite everyone to participate. These gatherings offer a vital platform for individuals to connect, share their thoughts, and collaborate on the productions we present. By engaging in meaningful discussions, we aim to not only enhance our artistic offerings but also ensure that our efforts align with the needs and aspirations of our community. Together, we can create vibrant experiences that resonate and inspire, reinforcing our bond as we move forward.

What Else We Do

Bullying Support

We are pleased to announce the introduction of our bullying support division. Our platform is intended to provide a secure and reassuring environment where children who have experienced bullying may talk to both paid and volunteer counsellors. Even though our staff including volunteers are not trained counsellors, we are able to connect children with the resources they need.

Other Productions

In the near future, our youth theatre and 16 and over age groups will showcase their talents through a diverse range of productions. Among these exciting endeavours are family pantomimes designed to entertain and engage audiences of all ages. Additionally, our 16 and over age group will present impactful anti-bullying plays in schools.
