A registered charity since 2006 we have provided a free one-year accredited training course for young actors (aged 17-23). Alongside this qualification these young actors volunteer their time to tour our original educational plays throughout Surrey, reaching 15,000 young people (aged 12+) with peer-led preventative messages about mental health, wellbeing and crime. We also provide peer-led outreach workshops, particularly focusing on working with learning disabled young people. Young people are at the heart of our work. Each year our young actor- educators feed in to the development of new and established projects ensuring our work remains fresh, relevant and engaging.

Losing It, our innovative sex education project, is a 90 minute peer led theatre production, and comprehensive accompanying Teachers' Pack.

This musical play tells the story of a group of 18 year-olds as they look back on seven years of secondary school. Written in partnership with young people from a range of schools, this frank and inclusive, large scale production addresses some key sex and relationship issues which can have a devastating impact on the lives of young people, including sexting, internet grooming, internet pornography, consent and rape.

Our work helps address this vital subject through preventative work. Delivered by young peer educators, our work hits home with significance and power. Our theatre is a powerful tool for education and transformation.
