This #worldtheatreday2025 we are championing all the fantastic work we put on our stage and all the amazing projects and programmes we do locally, nationally and internationally. This week we reached our target for #TheBigGive and thanks to generous donations it will help support our Dementia and Creativity programme. We also open our next show A Matter of Life and Death tomorrow evening, which is a new staging of the iconic British film and finally, our @NVBorderlines team are holding interactive workshops at a school in Cazin, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

This week has been #TheBigGive where we reached our target of £10,000 for our Dementia and Creativity programme thanks to generous donations and the support of the UK’s leading match funding charity.
Yesterday morning we were joined by Scarlett Hutton from @BBCRadioStoke who popped by to chat to a couple of our Dementia and Creativity Group participants about their experience at the theatre and the positive impact it has had on them and how important this fundraising is for the group.
Also, this week the @alzheimerssoc are working alongside the BBC as part of their 'Memories and Dementia: Starting the Conversation' which is featuring a range of programmes on the topic of dementia. Find out more here: bit.ly/4l4F2Og
My 89yr old Mum falls into the category of being just above pension credit level but still on a low income 🤷♀️how many pensioners voted for @UKLabour & they’ve just been betrayed @gareth_snell! How dare you target this group of people @RachelReevesMP #pensioners betrayed 😡
Shame on you @RachelReevesMP my 89 yr old Mum worked hard all her working life & will now NOT get her winter fuel allowance, she’s going to have to make some tough decisions come winter 🥶 #pensioners I did NOT vote for this @gareth_snell 😡

Our final scrapbook-making session with members of the ‘Dementia & Creativity Group’ @NewVicTheatre did not disappoint!
Today, we created quotes for their final scrapbook. The conversations around the room were truly beautiful, recalling last year’s activities with the New Vic❤️
Amazing day Kirsty @KreativeFdns as always 👏thank you so much for bringing so much fun & creativity to your sessions 🥰

Thank you to @SoTCityCouncil (ESFA) for funding the initial course, helping to grow the groups confidence to develop & perform this show
And finally thank you to the New Vic’s Education Team for supporting the follow on shows, & all your support towards myself & the group ❤️

Yes! Another show!
Last week members of the @NewVicTheatre Dementia & Creativity group performed their show to a small audience
It was beautiful! So beautiful, we were never quite able to develop a show name that did it justice. Hence the title 😁

A fun filled few weeks of ‘Arts for Wellbeing’, with patients & carers @DougieMacStoke
So far we’ve explored the power of music & experimental paintings
These sessions are never about perfect technique… instead they focus on supporting groups to experiment & have fun ❤️
