In Autumn 2022, Mortal Fools will be trialing a new weekly group for home educated young people, to provide a supportive, inclusive, and facilitated environment for young people to socialise, have fun, and take part in creative activities.
This group will be open to home educated young people - including EHE (elective home educators) and EOTAS (education other than at school). You do not need to have any kind of individual funding in place to participate.
Ahead of establishing a regular group in September, we will be running some one-off taster sessions over the next few weeks.
We're looking for up to 8 young people per session, and spaces will be allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. You can attend any or all of these sessions.
These sessions will also be an opportunity for parents/carers to meet the Mortal Fools team and find out more about who we are, what we do, hear our ideas for the group, and give your thoughts too.

The aim of the group is to use theatre, drama and other creative arts to help young people:
Sessions will be led by Claire Rimington - an experienced practitioner from the Mortal Fools team - alongside professional guest artists who specialise in theatre, music and visual arts.
- Develop communication skills
- Build relationships
- Work collaboratively with others
- Build resilience and confidence
