Giving Back: Jude's Community Showcase (360G-CheshireCF-A492062)

Jude Theatre CIC work closely with marginalised, disadvantaged, disabled and mainstream communities to provide theatre-based psychology-grounded applied theatre projects, groups and workshops which is usually tailored to focus on key issues impacting both individuals and the wider Cheshire community. This showcase project will enable us to bring all of these groups together as distinct parts of the whole community to share and celebrate in the work they have produced across their communities within the community of Cheshire this year, allowing for, facilitation and enhancing community integration. The grant funding will contribute towards vital staffing, organising, publicity and resources costs which coupled with the contributions in kind of time and spaces from Judes volunteers, partners and supporters will make the showcase possible. We work with people who are physically or mentally disabled, face learning difficulties and mental heath issues, live in poevrty or come from difficult backgrounds and as a whole who are generally in need and this project would allow them to integrate and share with their community, braking down stereotypes and barriers and encouraging conversations, integration and understaning.
