Our Space

‘Our Space’ – celebrating neurodiversity and creativity in girls (aged 9 – 15 years) – is a safe, welcoming space where imaginations can run wild, held at The Stable in Weston.

These sessions grew from needs identified through working with the medical cohort at the Pupil Referral Unit, and via Youth Theatre.

Next session will be at Super Culture’s home at The Lodge in Grove Park on Monday 14 April, 11:30am-1:30pm. Please register HERE

‘I didn’t think drama was for me but my friend dragged me in and I love it! I never thought I would have the confidence to do a show but I did and I am so proud. My mental health isn’t great and I don’t always go to school but being part of Youth Theatre makes me feel braver about the world.’

Youth Theatre member

‘What you do for these young people is inspiring and life-changing. Creativity is so essential for individual growth and community and that shone on stage tonight. Youth Theatre clearly changes the way that these young people see themselves and gives them a voice. Thank you!’

Youth Theatre member, aged 4

‘Everyone needs Youth Theatre in their lives because everyone has a right to be listened to and have fun!

This group isn’t just about drama – it is about finding your voice and having that voice listened to. It is about finding friends and not just people who think like you. This is a safe space to be whoever you want to be – everyone is accepted here.’

Youth Theatre Member

‘Sometimes it can be hard to find groups for children with SEN. You get to know the look of the group leader at the end of the session when they ask for a ‘quick word’. My son has been welcomed and valued at Youth Theatre. He runs out laughing and the ‘quick word’ is telling me how he has done something amazing that I might not get to hear about. Leaders really go the extra mile and I really appreciate that as I have a happy child.’
