Making Theatre Gaining Skills offers a new approach to solving long-term unemployment and helping jobless people build their confidence and learn new skills. Their innovative theatre-based approach provides transferable employment skills to some of the most disadvantaged long-term unemployed; people with mental health issues, learning difficulties or physical disabilities. This grant is to prepare a makerspace training centre in Bognor Regis to support the expected influx of unemployed claimants needing help to develop their skills. They are working closely with the DWP and Bognor Town Council in response to the coronavirus outbreak.
