Access information
We will run the Creative Sparks group in a flexible way so that young people with different needs or circumstances can take part more easily. Our friendly Mortal Fools practitioners are trained and experienced in working with young people with a diverse range of needs. We will support all members to unlock their creative potential!
Members are welcome and encouraged to attend as many sessions as they can, but we recognise that this is not always possible for all young people. If a member is unable to attend a session/s but would like to come back, they will not lose their space during that school term and can return when they are able to.
The venue is wheelchair accessible.

“At Mortal Fools we have an inclusive approach, and we are dedicated to helping different young people access creative opportunities.
I am excited to see how the Creative Sparks group will help us better support young people who may face barriers to attending arts sessions, including young carers, disabled young people, neurodivergent young people, and anyone looking for a creative outlet!”
- Kate Jeffries, Lead Artistic Practitioner
