Covid. Lockdowns. Theatres closed for over a year. Having re-scheduled our productions we are longing to back onstage with our friends and entertain you. We are honoured to have worked with Spotlight UK to co-create a campaign video that reflects mental health challenges faced by young people.
Louisa Riley, founder of the charity’s ‘Body Positivity Campaign’ approached us with the idea. She’d seen our first fundraising video that we did in lockdown (You Will Be Found) and asked if we would work with her on a campaign to tell her story and mark Mental Health Awareness Week (10-16 May 2021).
Louisa has struggled with her own mental health for years and often faced problems getting the vital support that she needed. Through this video, she wanted to use the trauma from her own past to help others.
We are proud to have worked on this project, whilst doing something that we love, performing!
Please share this powerful video and make a donation to help Spotlight provide vital services to help people like Louisa.
Introducing True Colours. 🌈
“For anyone who is walking a terrifying lonely path. I want to reach out and remind them that no matter how far gone they believe they are or how lonely they feel that I am listening. This campaign pulled me out of that treacherous place, and I realised that I needed to use my hurt, my trauma, and my damage to make a difference.”
