How this project supported Ragdoll Foundation aims

The People’s Theatre Collective proposal demonstrated commitment to high-quality arts engagement with a strong youth voice. There is an urgent need for creative work to support young people in identifying both abusive and healthy relationships. Building on existing organisational partnerships should allow the necessary atmosphere of trust to be established early in the project.
