'Yes We Can'
Our Stage Play for Schools and Community Groups.
The Play is supported and made possible by Comic Relief and Forever Manchester.
​
WE HAD A BROADCAST ON BBC 1 NORTHWEST TONIGHT, 31st JANUARY 2017 6-30pm AND during the day too!
On 20th January 2017 we had the pleasure of the BBC coming to film us with the talented Actress Julie Hesmondhalgh who played Hayley Cropper in 'Coronation Street', This was to promote the great work of Comic Relief. We were fortunate to receive a Grant from them, with the help of Forever Manchester, enabling us to take our play on the 'road' into Schools and Community environments, to show the talent of our mixed ability groups, including those with Downs and Autism.
