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.

Formed as a charity in 2020, Groundlings Theatre Trust operates a theatre production company and drama school that both entertains and provides opportunities to showcase and educate its grass root talent in a friendly unprejudiced environment.

Located within Boathouse 5 in the Historic Dockyard Portsmouth, we encourage participation from 8 to 80 in the enjoyment of the arts and welcome all to join in creating an open inclusive community.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers and have a range of opportunities you can get involved with from ushering, creating and managing costumes through to set building. We are based within a 5 minutes walk from Gunwharf and Portsmouth Harbour Train Station and have on site parking.
