Improving Your Emotional Wellbeing

We are a simply storytelling service, telling tales and historical stories to our community for the past 10 years! We are specialists in physical theatre including traditional storytelling, puppetry, mime, music and masks! We are here to wow audiences at a fraction of the cost, giving them creative, magical experiences to inspire imaginations and connect them to their culture through stories.

We can deliver a series of stories from our hand picked collection of tales, we devise and create stories through verbatim theatre, keeping faithful to authors and original ancient fairy tales passed down through the generations. We actively promote reading as a way to encourage imagination and help to enhance comprehension, complex scenarios, creating empathy with characters and considering different viewpoints whilst reflecting on the human experience.

We tell tales in schools, for community groups, in museums and galleries and for organisations and councils, we also offer training for adults wishing to learn the art of storytelling and puppetry, we also work with diverse groups including SEND and those living with dementia.

Recovering from a period of poor mental health can feel overwhelming as there may be obstacles to navigate and new anxieties before gaining back your independence.

Our Community Peer Recovery Team (or CPRT for short) can offer you the help that you need to set manageable goals, access the support you need and start getting back on your feet.

Our support is special because our staff have their own lived experience of living with a mental health issue. As well as practical advice, we can share our own stories, experiences, provide hope and become a role model in your time of need.

If you live with a mental health issue, work can be a great way to find structure, routine and connect with others. If you've not been working because of your illness, or you're employed but feel like you are struggling at work, our Employment Support Service can help.

Our Primary and Secondary teams provide personalised information, advice and guidance in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

The Secondary Employment Team also offers placement support by helping you discover skills and qualities that make you an asset to employers, then matching them to local industries where you will thrive. We can also support you with 1:1 support as you continue in a new role.
