- Build up their confidence by trying new and interesting activities
- To progress their personal development and help people to thrive
- To have an outlet for creativity, self-expression, initiative, etc.
- To help dyslexic & ND people make connections with like-minded people so reducing possible feelings of isolation experienced at times by individuals/families
- To gain possible skills from new activities
- For the improvement of mental well-being for a community where many are blighted with feelings of low self-esteem leading to depression
- Most of all it offers fun in an encouraging environment in a world where dyslexics & NDs often face negative and difficult challenges
The activities will be run by expert artists some of whom are themselves dyslexic & ND. Workshops will be in the following:
- Spoken word
- Theatre/drama
- Salsa dancing
- Arts and crafts
- Art and music
- Under 5s session with movement, dance, singing and dress up.
