Everyone has dreams, and the students at the Orpheus Centre are no exception. We’re lucky enough to have met many wonderful students who strive to achieve amazing things. Shaun, a recent graduate, is one of these brilliant young people.
The Orpheus Centre is a registered charity and we rely on your support to make our life-changing work with young disabled people possible.
Corporate Partners
We use the arts as a tool to enable students to grow their personal development, cognitive and communication skills, and to achieve an overall sense of self-worth, pride, and confidence. All students choose a major subject to focus on when they join, and this currently includes drama, dance, music, creative arts, or film and media. To find out more whilst we are working on our website, you can download the prospectus below or you can email: enquiries@orpheus.org.uk
Host your event in our 17th Century Barn Theatre with all the facilities you will need for a great event.
