Our impact
‘This story inspired me. When you have a path in life, you might fall off the tracks, but you can find your way back and lead the life you want and need to lead.’
‘After watching this play, I learned that real friendship is more valuable than gold or silver, and that things don’t always have just one meaning. They can become far more interesting when we view them from different perspectives.’

The footage in this video is from a recent Cheltenham Everyman Theatre performance. We supported three schools to attend the performance with 81 students. A local Cheltenham film company, Squashed Robot, created this video about our charity. We are very grateful for their big contribution to making this happen.
