Supporting Mental Health and wellbeing through accessing Theatre

At The Old Vic, we are motivated by the belief that engaging with the arts can enrich lives and expand horizons, and that encounters with theatre can act as a gateway into the arts for people from all backgrounds.

Community Club offers ten community groups in Lambeth and the surrounding area, who have experienced barriers to accessing the arts, the opportunity to build a relationship with The Old Vic and Streatham Space Project through a series of workshops and performances.

Community Club supports equality of access to the arts and we are committed to removing barriers which may ordinarily exclude people from accessing theatre. This programme is open to any community groups in London working with people aged 18+.

Community Club opened up theatre to me again. To actually experience being on the stage was fantastic. It was just this sense of power and authority. It was very good for my mental well-being and we all really enjoyed it

Community Club has inspired my group to attend theatre shows they wouldn’t normally, engage in play through the workshops, gain a new respect for the creative process and encouraged our members to share their own creativity
