A local charity close to my heart.
The wok they do is primarily for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism but we will accept referrals for most services from people who do not have these diagnoses. The Performing Arts Centre offers performing arts education - we have several bands, a choir, and a radio station. We also hold an annual theatre show written and directed by our learners, the sound and lighting is operated by learners and the set design is also created by our learners. Gig Buddies is a befriending service that matches participants with volunteers based on mutual enjoyment of activities. Whatever your “gig” may be. We have gig buddy pairs that go to gigs, festivals, football matches, ice hockey matches, the theatre for example. Living It Up Events is how the organisation started - these are bi-monthly nightclub or gig style events that are held in a safe environment. Gr8 Mates is our friendship and dating service. You don’t need to select a specific service - in this case, the money will go into a pot that all services can benefit from.
