Delivering music, dance and drama on a weekly basis, 89% of their current members are living with a disability. These include physical/learning difficulties, neurodiversity, invisible disabilities, visual/hearing impairments, behavioural needs and mental health conditions.
TramShed’s mission is ‘To bring individuals together to create outstanding, original and beautiful theatre which inspires and celebrates everyone’. Their vision is to be a self-sustaining independent organisation with a large active membership and key community partnerships.
