We run weekly creative writing workshops throughout the year with marginalised communities in Boscombe. They help to develop skills, confidence and self-belief.

We welcome anybody over 18 who previously was or is currently experiencing challenges in any of the following areas: mental health, physical limitations, addiction, low income, domestic or sexual abuse, homeless / vulnerably housed, leaver of care, leaver of prison, refugees/displaced people and those seeking asylum.

All weekly workshops are run by trained outsider artists and are free to attend.

We also run theatre trips and masterclasses with writers and theatre professionals. There are two scratch performances in our theatre each year for new work and emerging writers.

Open group: Thursdays 6-8pm

Women’s group: Fridays 6-8pm

Men’s group: Fridays 6-8pm
