Culturally Mindful - rediscovering play and connection

We've been rediscovering the joy of play! Our students have been enjoying creative workshops with Youyang as part of Wandsworth Council’s Culturally Mindful programme.

New programmes launching at Share

We’re adding two new courses later in the Spring. Our new Citizenship programme helps students aged 18-30 plan their next steps and build practical skills in employment, independent living, friendships, and wellbeing. And our Drama course offers a fun, creative space to explore storytelling, improvisation and performance, helping students build confidence, communication skills and self-expression.
