The Cherwell Theatre Company has launched new weekly arts workshops across Banbury this month.

The new ‘Amplify’ programme aims to give voices and aspirations to the young people of Banbury regardless of their differences through a weekly on-going programme of creative workshops.

The charity, which won the 2022 Cherwell Business Award for Charity and Community Giving, was delighted to be recognised for its community work promoting inclusivity and opportunities for young people across the Cherwell district.

CTC’s outreach director and joint CEO, Nicki Stevenson, said: “Though we’ve had weekly drama workshops running at Banbury College every Monday for many years, ‘Amplify’ takes place in community settings across Banbury.
