No one should miss out on the magic of creativity!

Theatre is a place of joy, connection, and unforgettable moments, but for some people in our community, the chance to experience that magic can feel out of reach.

Our ageing communities in Norfolk face many challenges, including health issues such as depression and dementia, loneliness and social isolation, and increasing financial pressures. The connection and kindness of theatre make a real difference and can be life-changing.

Our creative ageing workshops bring multiple generations together and provide opportunities for people to participate, make friends, celebrate and enjoy creativity.

• Our free participatory music activity, Theatre Cares is run regularly for people living with mild to moderate dementia and their loved ones, creating a safe space for individuals to feel at ease and spark joy and curiosity.
• Research has proven that music – from singing and song-writing, to getting hands-on with drums, chimes, and stringed and small percussion instruments – improves the wellbeing of people living with dementia and can be a positive shared experience between loved ones.
• Programmes such as Theatre Makers and Dance Lab invite participants to celebrate new beginnings and lived experiences through self-expression and collaboration.

With your help, we can expand activities that improve wellbeing, reduce isolation and create new communities of friendship for those who need it most.

Last year, your support was record-breaking, with nearly £25,000 raised to support children and families enjoying creative experiences. This year, help us spread the magic even further.
