Viva Arts received 2 year funding from Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation in 2022 to fund creative apprenticeships, youth theatre, workshops and Saturday school for young people in the rurally isolated area of East Cambridgeshire.
Over the past year, Viva Arts delivered 4 Musical Theatre Holiday Workshops for 120 participants, 30 Weeks of Performing Arts Saturday School for Young People and 8 Masterclasses with Industry Professionals with over 120 attendees. Participants reported positive outcomes including boosting confidence, improving literary, developing skills, raising aspirations and achieving nationally recognised qualifications such as LAMDA exams.
We love that Viva Arts is a valued community asset, offering activities that increase volunteering, bring community cohesion and reduce isolation.
