I'm raising £2,000 for a COMEDY PERFORMANCE TRAINING FOR VETERANS course .

A course and study for veterans who have previously experienced mental health difficulties

in partnership with: comedy Crate

A Unique & Innovative Part-time Course with Industry Professionals.

Comedy for Veterans will be part of our Wellbeing Project which uses group work to foster key skills of problem solving, developing team-working skills and building confidence. These sessions will encourage you to challenge your own perceived limitations by stepping outside your comfort zones within a safe and respectful environment.

As a form of story-telling, comedy naturally encourages the improvement of communication skills: by stretching language and the imagination, listening to others and using humour to see experiences in a new light, very positive results can be seen in a short space of time. Through working in team-based interventions, this can improve self-esteem and develop a sense of belonging.
