HIVE Directory: Hobbies Arts & Crafts Clubs

Here at Global Music Visions C.I.C. we aim to bring the benefits of music to as many severely sight impaired (blind), sight impaired (partially sighted), and disabled children and adults as possible, by using computer music software technology.

We work alongside everyone to promote inclusivity.

We want to remove the stigma surrounding disability, break down the barriers that prevent equality and inclusion, and create new opportunities based on a person’s ability, and their ideas.

Participate, enjoy, achieve.

Groundlings Theatre is a theatre company and drama school based in Portsea and we pride ourselves on being firmly rooted in our community. Operated by registered charity, The Groundlings Theatre Trust, we are committed to identifying and supporting the needs of our community by providing numerous opportunities for participants to upskill themselves, rediscover former passions and meet like-minded people and avoid social isolation. We ensure the safety and upkeep of a historic Grade II* listed building formerly known as the Old Beneficial School and as the only professional producing theatre in the city, we strive to provide a rich mixture of cultural experiences alongside a dedicated engagement and participation programme that celebrates and cultivates our local community. Our mission is defined by our motto, ‘Create, inspire, achieve’, and this remains at the heart of all our endeavours.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers and have a range of opportunities you can get involved with from ushering to set building. We are based two minutes away from Gunwharf and Portsmouth Harbour Train Station and have on site parking. Please enquire for more information on what you can get involved in.

Harbour Cancer Support offers practical and emotional support for anyone affected by any cancer.

Drop-In Centre

Trained staff and volunteers are always available to welcome anyone to the centre. They are there to sit and listen, when wanted, help in finding information, explain the services on offer and refer to a therapist when appropriate. Alternatively just call in for a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy our relaxing surroundings.

At The Kings School of Performing Arts, we have a commitment to delivering first class training in a supportive environment and to provide places to dedicated young performers that may not normally be able to attend by hosting a scholarship programme that will fund £25,000 worth of places in a year.
