Company activities and impact

During the year the company continued to deliver sessions and workshops to local individual and community groups. Our delivery included sessions based on dance, drama, performing arts and other well-being activities. Throughout the year we have developed our reach further into County Durham to work with people of all ages in rural areas and areas of severe deprivation. With young people we have focused on programmes of support and wellness using mainly drama and circus skills. The sessions have improved positivity, self-esteem and confidence as well as the physical health and mental health of participants.

Consultation with stakeholders

Our main stakeholders are members of the local community. At all of our sessions feedback is actively encouraged to provide useful information to help plan future delivery.
