Liberdade Community Development Trust
My Story
We are Liberdade!
Kelly, Heather, Kev, Rhys, Paul and Steve are taking on the Great North Run.
Our organisation started in 2003 as an apprenticeship scheme with the aim of enabling a group of people with learning disabilities to set up and run their own physical theatre company.
As a company we made some decisions about what we wanted our organisation to achieve. They were:
1. To give young people the same opportunities that we had.
2. Run a building of our own so we could invite the community in.
3. Have jobs in that building.
4. Have more opportunities to perform.
To help us to achieve these goals we opened Gosforth Civic Theatre in 2016. The theatre is a vibrant cultural place that aims to bring people together. We host theatre, music and dance performances for everyone to enjoy.
Our Mission
To raise everyone's expectation's about what people with learning disabilities achieve.
We do this in two different ways:
1. We run our arts and health programmes and provide opportunities to perform.
2. We provide training, volunteering and work opportunities in our cafe and at events at Gosforth Civic Theatre.
People come to Liberdade to work, learn and perform, but mostly, to belong.
