In Cahootz creates opportunities for marginalised and isolated individuals to become active citizens. Participants are given the chance to pursue activities like music, art, drama, film-making, creative writing, visiting exhibitions and our Personal Development Award. The focus varies during the year, but there is usually an annual theatre production or exhibition that presents all the talents of the group to the general public. Our main projects are Creative Citizens, Our participant-led project for adults in recovery from substance misuse. Barrhead Drama: As well as the Creative Citizens project, we currently provide weekly drama workshops for 60 children and young people in Barrhead. The aim of these sessions is to boost confidence and self-esteem through nurturing their creative ideas and having fun. The drama workshops also promote a strong sense of community, making and building friendships and learning about inclusion. We also run an adult drama group every week in Dunterlie Community Centre.
