A very special post from our practitioner and pal Via Macnab! Take a peek at their page to see all of the amazing projects they've worked on this year.

Via is a wonderful storyteller and drama practitioner - you'll find them in our Selby programme and events!

Another year coming to a close -- can you believe it's gone this fast? This year I've worked with some incredible projects and had some major successes, and today I'm celebrating Toolbox Drama CIC!
This year, I've been involved in:
🎭 Weekly drama sessions in Selby
🎶 Starting a new weekly music group
🌻 A new facilitated sensory space, Immersive Gardens
🗺️ Trips to see disability friendly art
🎉 A brilliant summer arts festival
✨ Cover sessions in drama, music and dance in York
💃 Collaborative sessions in dance and play in York
💛 Supporting and training our new volunteers and buddies
It's been a fabulous year, and I'm really looking forward to what we've got coming up in 2026! Keep an eye here for more updates on this year over the next few weeks.
