Odd Arts
- Odd Arts uses varied art-forms to empower young people in Manchester to make change and increase their sense of belonging and purpose.
- Projects are underpinned by theatre but often use other media to challenge and change attitudes and behaviours.
- Its Creative Community Resettlement programme (CCR) uses arts to increase wellbeing for young people facing mental health challenges enabling them to understand the world and themselves differently.
- CCR provides a wide variety of creative experiences such as theatre workshops, videography, creative writing, dance, music and cultural trips.
- Chimo has funded the appointment of new member of staff to develop and expand the reach of the CCR programme.
