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 2020
Thursdays – 1pm to 3pm
16 January – 26 March (no session 27 February) 10 weeks
Venue: Langworthy Cornerstone
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.
In the New Year our theme will continue to be a “Sense of Adventure!”
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 will be hosting a sharing event on Thursday 26th March at Langworthy Cornerstone.
