Alice and Mark will be taking part in a Swimathon, being part of a team of swimmers to swim 1 mile in order to raise as much money as possible for Chickenshed Theatre.

Chickenshed champions difference through inclusion, to enrich lives and transform our world. Through inclusive theatre they aim to empower individuals, change hearts and minds, and transform institutions.

1200 children and young people access their inclusive arts and education programmes each week. They establish platforms from which their young people can both speak to and listen to their community.

They are unique in developing and celebrating the creative energy of people who would never normally meet, much less have the opportunity to work together to produce life changing theatre.

As well as offering over 250 performances per year, they are also an educational establishment delivering Further and Higher Education courses. With Children' and Youth Theatre membership schemes for 5 -21 year olds and an ongoing programme of outreach projects working with some of the hardest to reach communities, Chickenshed truly represents Theatre Changing Lives.
