Thank you so much to everyone who has generously donated to this campaign. Thanks to your support we are able to fund a facilitator, assistant and support worker for the whole of the autumn term, ensuring that disabled young people can enjoy sessions packed with play and imagination.

ActionSpeak and Louder Than Words provide a vital space for connection and creativity.

Each week 30 disabled young people enjoy sessions packed with play and imagination. They express themselves, have fun, make friends and learn new skills in drama, music and storytelling in a supported and friendly environment.

The past 18 months have been particularly difficult for young disabled people, with Covid-19 creating increased isolation and anxiety for many. That is why we have run weekly drama sessions online throughout the pandemic. The groups have provided a regular space for creative adventures at home, supporting friendships, connection and wellbeing. This summer, we are delighted to be returning to face-to-face sessions in the Travelling Light studio, with flexible support to meet each young persons needs.

We need your help to continue to run ActionSpeak and Louder than Words this autumn, supporting young peoples confidence, self-expression and friendships as we return to community life.

Your support will help to keep the groups running, providing flexible face to face and digital activities and reaching more young people in our community.

Young people have told us how important the groups are to them:

ActionSpeak and Louder Than Words cost £9,000 to run each term.

Our target is to raise £2,000 to secure funding towards keeping these vital groups going from Autumn 2021 onwards.

Could you support our campaign with a donation? Every penny will help.

£100 could pay for materials for creative workshops over the year.

£50 could pay for a workshop leader to run a taster session for young people to try Louder Than Words for the first time.

£30 could pay for a prop or costume for a group member.

£20 could pay for travel costs for a young person to attend the groups.
