'Highland Game'

By James Frecknall

DATE: August 19th 2014

Murder under trust. Is there anything more disturbing? This modern interpretation of the Massacre of Glencoe reminds us that life itself can never be taken for granted. The MacDonalds or the Campbells, whose side are you on

Imagine that you have a fear (which you may well have and if so, get in touch!) and then imagine that your fear is going to be shown to members of the public in the most famous arts festival of them all. Well, that's the premise of Face your Fears.

Having written a play at University, and never expecting it to see the light of day, it now will. We're also taking it on a mini-tour and are inviting anyone involved to submit their fear which we can all conquer together during the tour week. What's not to love? Everything? Oh ok, let's brick it together!

Hope and Homes for Children (the selected charity) don't know what they've got coming to them!

Hope and Homes for Children is an international charity working to ensure that all children have the chance to grow up in the love of a family. We are leading experts in closing children's institutions and reforming childcare systems.

Many children living in institutions, or orphanages, have at least one parent, but are separated from their families as a result of poverty, conflict, disease and other social and physical causes. Evidence shows that these children have dramatically reduced opportunities in life and that their ability to develop to their full potential is severely undermined. The effects of institutionalisation on children can last a lifetime.

Hope and Homes for Children is committed to working with governments to close their institutions through a process called Deinstitutionalisation (DI) by enabling children to return home to their families or into alternative, family-based services.

Deinstitutionalisation (DI) means much more than simply closing down institutions; it is the complex process of replacing a system of long-term residential care in large institutions with a range of family-based alternatives for children and with services which prevent family breakdown in the first place. Specialist expertise is required to close institutions in a manner which safeguards each individual child, ensures the efficient use and transfer of resources, and results in sustainable high quality care services.
