Embracing Arts
Description
Embracing Arts (EA) bring the magic of theatre to children with serious health or additional learning needs.
Seriously ill children and those with additional learning needs are often cut out of theatrical experiences because spaces rarely meet their needs. EA are changing this by staging accessible Christmas shows,
parties and workshops in familiar places like classrooms and hospitals. 99% of surveyed audiences said it boosted their child’s wellbeing. EA also equip teachers with the tools to make classrooms and performances work for every child. They want to continue widening their offer, but
don’t have the resource to realise this ambition.
EA will use our funding to create space to focus on longer-term strategy, expanding their income-generating CPD service for teachers, and growing digital content so more children can enjoy what they offer year-round.
