02 Purpose and work

What the charity exists to do

Our organisation was established in 1982 as a not-for-profit community interest group, dedicated to welcoming children aged 9 to 18 from all backgrounds. Meeting twice weekly, we provided a space for young people to build friendships, develop their talents in singing, dancing, and acting, and gain hands-on experience behind the scenes—such as costume-making, prop-building, and set design using tools like sewing machines, wood, and paint, all fuelled by their creativity. Now, 23 years later, we are proud to see how far we’ve come. Thanks to the passion of the children involved in our pantomimes and shows, and the unwavering support of parents, carers, and our volunteer committee members, we’ve grown into a vibrant community. Together, we continue to inspire and engage young people in the world of creative dance and amateur theatre—showing exactly what a united, supportive community can achieve.
