Great to get out of the office & into the Unicorn Theatre for a wonderful sharing of The King Who Banned the Dark. A fantastic story of our time, with a hilarious cast & brilliant songs. Well done our trustee, Hope for producing!

To celebrate Creativity & Wellbeing Week 2026, we're giving you some Behind the Scenes photos from our recent rehearsals. Last week, we went to one of our favourite London rehearsal spaces, SDH Space Forest Hill, for 5 days of fun and devising for our new show, Whistle Stop. This new show for people with dementia and their carers is a story about trains and travelling - from the commuters, to the railway workers, to the hills and back.

The creative team involved in this first week of rehearsals are:
Rebecca Manson Jones - Concept & Direction
Gabriel Akamo and Yuwei Jing - Performers
Stu Barter - Sound Design & Composition
Jens Cole - Design
Sophie Holland - Movement Direction
Julia Crammer - Stage Manager
Will Monks - AV Consultant
Lara Marshall - Creative Access Support

We're currently booking care homes in London who would like a performance for their residents, between 6th July and 17th July 2026. Get in touch for more info and how to book:

Delighted to receive these Cards from Inclusion from our friends at Unlimited. We came across these cards at the Design & Disability exhibition at the V & A Museum and thought they were a fantastic way of putting accessibility and inclusion to the forefront of your thinking in a fun way. We'll be putting them to use!

You can download the game yourself from their website:
