We are always keen to work in partnership with other organisations, so please contact us if you would like to discuss possible collaborations or projects.

DIY BUDS

DIY BUDS is DIY’s popular weekly drama session for adults with learning disabilities. Held at Langworthy Cornerstone, sessions are free and everyone is welcome!

Spring Term 2019 – 10 weeks starting  Thursday 17^th January 

Weekly sessions take place every Thursday from 1 – 3pm at Langworthy Cornerstone in Salford. Workshops are planned and co-run by members of DIY’s Friday Group.

This term DIY BUDS we will be working on a brand new “Sense of Adventure!” project.

Sessions are free and everyone is welcome. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done drama before. You can come, join in, have fun and laughter and make new friends. It helps boost your confidence and put a smile on your face. Buds can also help you to become a better actor and learn new skills. We also sometimes put on shows.
