02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
HAOS is established to advance the arts, education and community development through the promotion and participation in musical theatre and the performing arts. We fulfil these purposes by producing an annual musical theatre production for the public and providing members of the local community with opportunities to develop skills and experience in singing, acting, dancing and all aspects of theatre production. Regular rehearsals provide structured training and guidance from our Production team, helping to develop confidence, creativity, discipline and teamwork. We also support the wider community through participation in local events, performances in care homes, and engagement with community organisations. Our social and fundraising activities provide further opportunities for members and the wider public to come together. Through these activities, we promote access to the arts, encourage community participation and contribute to the cultural and social life of Hawick and beyond.
