Foundation Funding Helps Theatre Host Stage of Reflection 

Foundation Funding Helps Theatre Host Stage of Reflection 

Hyde Festival Theatre has been able to deliver engaging mental health and wellbeing workshops thanks to funding of £4,414 from Jigsaw Foundation.

The workshops are part of the Stage of Reflection project, and took place at the theatre on Corporation Street in Hyde during the Easter half-term holidays. 

They are designed to support young people aged 7-17 from across the borough in understanding and expressing their feelings.

Through a combination of drama, yoga, and arts and crafts, the sessions created a safe, welcoming space helping young people to build confidence, learn coping strategies, and explore their emotions in a positive and creative way.

Project Lead, Steven Oliver-Grant said: “We are incredibly grateful to Jigsaw for their generous funding, and to the local residents who voted for our project – your support is making a real difference to the lives of young people in our community.”
