“In my opinion, Theatre Troupe offers something incredibly unique. Every element is so carefully considered and thought about. Seeing relationships develop over time is truly wonderful.” (artist therapist, 2025)
“It was the best demonstration of how art can be the centre of a programme where so many talented people work and so many young people are motivated to participate. The highlights are, beyond reasonable doubt, all the moments where I saw young people smile, take part, express themselves, interact with peers and be proud enough of themselves to show their progress to their family and friends.” (volunteer, 2023)

[My daughter] came to Theatre Troupe a lost little girl with no confidence or worth within herself. She has suffered a great deal, and has been diagnosed with PTSD. As a single parent who has been really struggling to find something for my child to help her build up not only confidence but trust, friendship and hope, this group has delivered this and so much more…Since attending the group, she has grown in so many ways I started to believe it was impossible. Theatre Troupe has helped my little girl to find herself and believe in her dreams.” (Parent , 2025)
