We are also working with local schools in collaboration with Beach Guardians. The scavenged items will go into the build of the puppet. We run a completely inclusive organisation; students who don't wish to perform are very welcome to experience the workshops. You can also join for a day session. There are funded spaces available for those in receipt of free school meals. Please ask me for more details.
