In Another Place is an 20-year-old charity and community theatre company, based in a deprived area of north Liverpool called Bootle. We deliver small and large arts projects in partnership with a range of community groups involving over 150 volunteers since moving into Bootle Strand.

Beneficiaries
We provide activities that aid in addressing isolation, low self-esteem, depression, and lack of opportunities in an area of high deprivation and complex needs. People are often marginalised with mental health issues, additional needs, or from ethnic minorities. We offer accessible activities like cardboard, sewing and drama workshops and family events. All ages from children to older adults can get involved, and regular attendees can become volunteers and take part in our other activities.
We use performing arts to increase community engagement especially for those who are often marginalised or face barriers. We work with people to develop their skills and talents, through free activities. Our activities provide an opportunity for social interaction and community growth. We have seen real positive change in individuals; helping participants gain structure in their lives and develop life skills to gain employment and have fostered a sense of belonging among many local people.
