The project is provided by the charity Young Potential, Young Potential also work with young people at risk, adults with mental ill health, people with learning disabilites and profound and multiple learning disabilities.

We are currently operating from the Worksop Regal theatre in the Bassetlaw district of Nottinghamshire but we are working towards spreading this project countywide.

The Worksop Regal is a working theatre that has two theatres, a recording studio, rehersal rooms, office space and a cafe/bar.

The project offers arts experiences in Music, Drama and Visual Art. Working towards publicly shown performances and exhibitions at the theatre. We have been operating this project since June 2008.

Due to this success we are now in the process of being able to offer not only an arts experience but accediation in the arts and work and voluntary experience in the arts industry in an arts environment.
