SceneandHeardUK

Scene & Heard is a unique mentoring project that partners the inner-city children of Somers Town, London with volunteer theatre professionals. We give them intensive, quality one-to-one adult attention, enabling them to write plays which are then performed by professional actors. Our work improves literacy skills and attitudes towards education and develops communication and social skills. Our performances give the children immediate and public experiences of success, raising their aspirations and boosting their self-esteem. Scene & Heard is committed to producing the highest quality theatre with and for the Somers Town community.

 

We believe that in order to have a real and lasting impact we must offer more than a one-off experience; children are invited back over several years to continue working with us.
