As Co-Founder of Chickenshed, I have seen over the past 47 years what children and young people can achieve when we include everyone. As you know, we use the medium of theatre to give everyone a chance, including those who have been previously denied that human right.

Due to Covid, Chickenshed is experiencing testing times. For so many, we are a safe place to belong and the mental health of our young people is suffering greatly by their not being able to attend. We are doing much virtually but need to ensure that we can continue giving them a lifeline.
