  • 3 masked actors representing varied elderly demographics across the UK are leaning against a white geometric structure, holding cups in their hands. One actor holds a crutch, and a cat puppet is sat on the floor looking up towards them. They all look warmly towards the camera. In the background is a blue sky with clouds.
  • Kate, a female human sized puppet with red 80s glasses and a tight perm, sits behind a dark brown wooden desk in a badly lit office space. In the background there are some computers and equipment on other desks. Kate is looking directly at the camera.

Funding secured for national Spectrum Youth Theatre residencies 2026!

We are delighted (and grateful) to announce that Arts Council England and Enterprise Arts Trust have awarded us funding to deliver another year of national Spectrum Youth Theatre (SYT) residencies, across 2026!

Building on from the national model we developed in 2022, this set of residencies will see us partners with venues across the UK, enabling more neurodivergent young people to attend the residencies. Our partners this year include the Little Angel Theatre (London), Whittington Speech & Language Therapy, Prime Theatre (Swindon) and The Brewhouse (Burton-upon-Trent).

To read more about this year’s residency, visit our SYT page here.
