Cotton Shed - 'Where the people are the theatre'
Sadly too many people are prevented from accessing areas of interest and certain organisations, as they need that little extra care, attention or support when it matters, or they just don't fit in because of perceived preferences. This exclusion can lead to isolation and hidden talents being unrealised. We all have something to offer and through Cotton Shed Theatre Company, our inclusive values encourage everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, to access theatre and become a valued member. Contributing to ideas, direction, themes each individual is encouraged to build their confidence and talent under the direction of professional artistic leaders. Every person is involved with acting, music, song and dance, whether they are able bodied and full of confidence, less confident, or even a wheelchair user. Everyone is welcome.
Help for Heroes
Help for Heroes raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded in the service of their country. We ask our supporters to “do their bit” to show these extraordinary young men and women that they are cared for by us. Over a million people have responded to date and millions of pounds have been raised to buy much needed services that will aid their recovery, but we need more! So far, we have allocated almost all of the money we have raised in order to fund direct projects and support other service charities. We are passionate about what we are doing and as far as we are concerned the sooner we can see results, the better!
