It’s been a big year for our theatre group at Prism Arts, from touring across Cumbria to welcoming and working alongside so many incredible people.

We want to take a moment to celebrate Joseph Robinson , who has been a valued part of the group this year. Joey first joined us as a volunteer photographer before becoming a facilitator, and has captured so many special moments along the way. These photographs reflect the energy, creativity and connection that make our theatre group so unique, and we’re incredibly grateful to Joey for documenting them.

Joey, thank you for being such a brilliant part of the team this year. We wish you every success as you begin your training as a teaching assistant. We’re going to miss you!

Here’s to everything that’s been achieved this year, and to all the exciting adventures still to come. ❤️
