Corporate packages

Corporate packages including ‘off the shelf’ training and bespoke plays and workshops to address business and staff needs have been commissioned throughout the year. Examples include a number of theatre based interactive training designed for Sodexo including work addressing trust, communication and neurodivergency. We host a corporate development committee we need to express our gratitude to for their time and wisdom given in order to help raise unrestricted income streams for our charity.
