In2theatre was STARTED IN September 2007 AND IS A voluntary Organisation FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS. WE OFFER weekly workshops throughout the year in theatre and dance training, CULMINATING in regular public performances.
Our MISSION STATEMENT IS to support and train PARTICIPANTS in an inclusive and supportive ARTISTIC environment, valuing each individual for the skills they bring to the company. They work towards theatre, dance, voice, music, staging and singing skills, whilst enhancing their social, listening, communication, speaking and concentration skills. The personal benefits gained are inestimable - increased self-esteem and confidence, forging of friendships and team support and a hugh sense of achievement.
Every member is encouraged to perform and contribute at their own highest level, giving everyone an opportunity.
We represent the interests of people who may find it difficult to be heard or speak out for themselves. These can include older people, those with disabilities and those with mental health problems.
With the support of trained staff, we provide an advocacy and appointee service. This gives a voice to people who need support to make their own choices because they are frail or disabled or because of financial or social circumstances. It also enables them to have their individual needs and views respected and acted upon.
We offer a free professional service for adult residents of North Warwickshire, South Warwickshire and Rugby Borough who are known to the disability, older people’s and learning disability services. We are funded by Warwickshire Adult Health and Community Services and Warwickshire Primary Care Trust.
We have over 14 years of expertise and, for those people who do not meet the contracted criteria, our services can be purchased by individuals and other organisations.
The Jennifer Trust for Spinal Muscular Atrophy is the only national charity in the UK dedicated both to supporting people affected by SMA, and investing in essential research into causes, treatments and eventually a cure for the condition.
