What We Do

We run FREE weekly workshops which include drama, dance and music, improvisation activities and performance related projects. All sessions are run by a team of practitioners experienced in inclusive practice and techniques, who support individuals’ needs and bring creativity and passion to the sessions. The workshops are run inclusively with emphasis on breaking down barriers, cultivating all young people’s creativity and working together no matter what their impairment, disability, race, economic disadvantage, or gender.

Our workshops are free because we realise that a great number of young people miss out on crucial character defining activities because of economic disadvantage. At Brixton Inclusive we aim to remove this stumbling block and assist children and young people where needed.

The weekly creative sessions explore important and relevant subject matters and topics surrounding issues such as bullying, developing/improving family and peer relationships, heritage and culture (local, national and international), race and racism, rights and responsibilities, gender equality, self perception and imaging, and crime prevention. Both in terms of their peers, friends or family, we aim to tackle head on behaviour issues that affect young people, whether at home, school or on the streets. Brixton Inclusive’s work aims to impact positively by reducing the triggers that can sometimes lead to exclusions or aggressive bullying towards others, and this is conducted within a safe and mutually supportive environment.

Last year Lambeth Commissioning awarded us three years of funding to provide theatre and arts skills to children and young people in the local community, some holiday provision and relevant trips outside of the sessions. This is the first time we have been awarded local authority funding and we were extremely pleased to be successful with our bid. This has already opened the door for us onto other Lambeth based providers and teams/agencies who are supporting children and young people and looking to signpost them towards positive activities.
