✨ Happy International Day of Play! ✨

Even though the global spotlight is on International Day of Play this June 11th, we want to remind everyone that play is for every single day. It is a fundamental part of growing up healthy, happy, and connected to your community.

The Powered By CAN team has just written a brand new blog all about it! Check it out here/link in our bio 👉 https://www.poweredbycan.org/international-day-of-play-11th-june/

We would love for you to come and join us at one of our sessions! You can find exactly where we will be popping up next by visiting our website: goplaysandwell.co.uk 🌳

Day 2 of Bound 4 Stage is wrapped up! 🎭

We caught up with freelance producer, poet, actor and host , one of the industry creatives joining us to teach and inspire our young people. Arun shared how brilliant it’s been to see the next generation embrace the creative elements of theatre and acting, and just how eager they are to learn about all the different roles involved in putting a production together.

That curiosity and energy from our young people is exactly what this programme is built for. Giving 14-18 year olds in Walsall a fully funded space to discover their voice, build real skills, and work alongside industry professionals is something we’re incredibly proud of.

9 months. One full production. Endless potential.

This is all made possible through our funders
