So great to be back in Leicester Square and see AD still going strong in the beautiful spring sunshine ☀️✨

There’s something extra special about seeing it thrive in such an iconic spot with the sun shining down on the square. A real testament to the continued support and commitment behind it.

Huge thanks to and for making it happen and keeping it shining in the heart of the West End.

Grateful and proud. Thank you! 🙌

Before half term, we had the BEST time catching up with our amazing Southend Heroes — and what a special moment it was as they got to meet their magical mentor for the team, .koplick ✨ Thank you Liv!

This marked a very special moment for us. Since our charity began in 2021, we have now worked with 274 incredible children, and the impact continues to inspire us every single day.

Almost all of our young heroes tell us their confidence and abilities have grown, and in many cases we’ve even seen improved class attendance — proof that believing in yourself really can change everything.

We are also so proud that some of our heroes have gone on to take part in our cultural partners, ’ fantastic youth programme, continuing their creative journeys on even bigger stages.

One of the things that makes our programme truly special is that children, working in small groups, doing 1 to 1 work, choose exactly what they want to create, and we do everything we can to help them bring those ideas to life on stage.

Watching their imagination turn into reality is pure magic.

Here’s to many more heroes, many more dreams, and many more moments like this 💫

✨ Week 5 of The Hero’s Journey ✨

Today we were in Essex for one of our favourite moments of the programme — Meeting the Magical Mentor! 🪄

Our heroes met a real-life mentor who shared their creative superpowers, sprinkled wisdom on their projects, and cheered them on as they continue their own journeys. 🌟

From tales of tackling tricky challenges to finding courage, friendship, and resilience — our mentor showed us the true magic of teamwork, bravery, and never giving up on your dreams. 💫

Over the years, our Magical Mentors have included some of the West End’s brightest stars — inspiring the next generation of young creatives. 🌠

✨ Check out our past mentors to see who’s shared their magic with our heroes!

📍 Essex, Week 4: Trials, Friends & Foes 💫

We’re back with our amazing heroes for the next chapter of our The Hero’s Journey 10 week programme — and this week it’s all about building your dream team! 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Pursuing what we love — whether it’s acting, drawing, or writing — is always easier (and more fun!) with great friends and helpers by our side 💪🎨🎭✍️

Today we’re exploring who makes us smile, gives great advice, and shares our passions. Let’s start building our SUPER SQUAD — because every hero needs a team! 🌟✨

🚗✨ We’re heading to Essex for Week 3: Crossing the Threshold! ✨🚗

This week is a big one — our heroes will be sharing the first draft of their project with the Caedmon Team. 🎭✍️

For many artists, even experienced ones, showing your work for the first time can feel terrifying. For those just starting out, it can feel even bigger. But don’t worry — this is all part of the creative journey! 🌟
💡

In Week 3 our heroes will learn how to embrace feedback — taking the positives to build your confidence and using the negatives as fuel to grow stronger. That’s what being an artist is all about.
