Young Makers is a fun and inclusive theatre group for learning disabled and/or neurodivergent young people aged 14-18.

Each week, we play games, tell stories, and create theatre – your way. It’s a space to make friends, build confidence, and explore your creativity.

Past projects have included podcasts, short films, and working with professional artists.

Come and be part of something special – where your voice, ideas, and imagination take centre stage.

As the block has started, bookings are no longer available online but we are still open to new participants. We offer a trial session to any young person interested in joining.

If you’re interesting in taking part, contact Young Makers Co-ordinator Morna McGeoch, learningprojects@citz.co.uk. Morna can provide more information about the group, available facilities and access.
