An independent specialist college for young disabled adults with a passion for the performing arts. Rated "Good" by Ofsted and the CQC. For more details click here.“I started the Orpheus Centre in 1998 because of a long-held belief that young disabled people – just like their non-disabled peers - gain confidence by performing in public and being applauded. We don’t train young disabled people to be professional performers – we are a specialist college teaching them the skills they need to live independently. What makes us different is that we use the performing arts to give our students the self-belief to use those skills when they leave us. The last 21 years have proved this works!” Sir Richard Stilgoe, founder and trustee.
If your son/daughter or young person is aged between 18 and 25 and has a physical and/or learning disability we’d love for them to join us.
There are lots of fun and exciting ways that you can get involved and raise funds for our life-changing work. We are a registered charity and we need your help!
