Nothing To Be Done

COMPANY OF FRIENDS was formed in 2008 by and for adults with learning disabilities. Our aim is to encourage the independence and creativity of each member and in so doing, challenge the way people with learning disabilities are commonly perceived. The tools we use to do this are all aspects of performance: music, movement, film, theatre and the visual arts. We are looking to establish ourselves more firmly as a professional theatre company.

Completely run by volunteers, Company of Friends has received funding from the Arts Council, the Lottery, the Morgan Foundation, the Hemby Trust, and the John Moores Foundation.
