Southend Mencap Showstoppers - SEND events and activities

Weekly sessions for anyone with a learning disability aged 16 years and over, run by Andrew Watson and Tammy Jones and a great team of volunteers.  Through the study of drama we aim to promote confidence and enjoyment and develop self-expression, self-awareness, friendship and cooperation within a fun, safe and trusting environment. Students are offered the opportunity to be fully involved in the planning and preparation of the sessions.

Carers welcome to stay but essential where health and/or medication dictates.

Please bring own lunch but drinks will be provided during sessions.

Costs: £30 per person per day or £15 for half day attendance. Choose your payment method (pay on day, direct payments or monthly invoice)
