Drama 4 Change awarded £44,997 by BBC Children in Need
We're delighted to announce we’ve been awarded a grant of £44,997.00 over three years by BBC Children in Need. This grant will fund our drama group “Drama 4 Change” and help make a difference to the lives of children and young people facing disadvantage right here in Herefordshire.
We want to be able to reach out to young people in Herefordshire to those who would not normally access the arts due to social or financial disadvantage. “Drama 4 Change” will provide young people between the age of 10 years and 18 years with the skills, confidence and experience to feel positive about their futures whether its further education or a career. We want to help young people to realise their potential and to help them to reach their aspirations.
With the support of BBC Children in Need we will be able to provide young people with a free to attend drama group for 10-18-year-olds in Herefordshire. Drama 4 Change is led by professional drama practitioners who understand how engaging with Drama at a young age has the power to transform lives. The support from BBC Children in Need over the next three years will help us to make a difference and have a positive impact on young people’s wellbeing and self-esteem, providing young people with a platform to be creative, gain new skills and confidence whilst making new friends.
This support will help us to give young people a voice through issue-based drama, empowering them to educate others about issues that are important to young people and their communities.
Victoria Craig, Chairperson of The Cracked Slipper Company said; “We would not be able to reach out to the young people in Herefordshire without the support of BBC".
