The Outside Edge office is closed from Saturday 23rd December 2023 to Monday 1st January 2024. There will be no weekly drop-in sessions running during this time. The office reopens on Tuesday 2nd January and weekly drop-in sessions return on this date. Please see the full schedule here.

As 2023 comes to an end, we wanted to express our gratitude for all your support during the last year. With your help, we have been able to deliver and support:

4,376 attendances
922 hours of delivery
729 beneficiaries492 sessions
348 volunteer hours
62 taster sessions
8 different creative recovery groups
8 performances

During this year, alongside our usual adult services we ran a Young People’s Project, our advanced group The Company produced three films with help from the amazing team at Tea Films, and two of our facilitators spent a week in HMP Parc in Wales delivering workshops for their IOM Refresh Programme clients, ending with a performance showcase on the final day.

Other highlights have included delivering Masterclasses for service users with industry professionals in areas such as Mask and Puppetry, and took our participants to see free shows in many genres all across London! We also produced ticketed work by our Moving Recovery, Women’s Drama Group, and Edge Two groups.

Now it’s time for the Outside Edge team to take a break over the festive season so we can hit the ground running when we return on 2nd of January! We look forward to what 2024 holds for us.
Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year!
