Our Charity

  • We make a difference by creating welcoming spaces where people can connect, express themselves, and grow. Through a co-creative approach, we work with young people, emerging and early-year artists, and communities to develop skills, share stories, and shape work that reflects their experiences.

  • A Sustainable Future for the Arts

    We aspire to be a sustainable and adaptable organisation that not only responds to the needs of our community but also shapes the future of arts engagement. Our goal is to create a theatre that thrives long into the future, supporting emerging talent, fostering bold ideas, and ensuring that creativity remains at the heart of Plymouth’s cultural landscape.
