Love Maybe - Monday Message

Adult Social Care - Monday Messages

Recently I went to see Love Maybe, which included singing, dancing, story telling and poetry, all created, produced, and choreographed by people with learning disabilities and / or autism supported by Spring into Action and Meet and Match. The topic was friends and relationships. The production was held at The Brave Church in Oswaldtwistle, a fantastic large room, was attended by the mayor of Hyndburn which gave additional weight to the subject of the show.

We used local venues to rehearse and so people did not have to travel too far. People used public transport to travel to venues. We used environmentally friendly materials for props and made our own props too. We provided t-shirts from a local company and these were for particiapants to take away and use

The local economy

The local economy

We were able to support 3 local venues for venue hire, one of which has a cafe - we were able to support this cafe buying breaksfast for the cast and crew on show day, as well as providing refreshements to the audience. We also used a local company for the show t-shirts that everyone wore in the show
