This is a group run by Fall into Place for people who are asylum seekers and/or refugees to come together, have fun, try drama skills and be creative.
Sessions are open to all – whether they have experience of performing or not!
These groups are run in a friendly, accessible way so that nobody feels left behind. We start every week with a wellbeing check in. We then play drama games focused on connection, imagination and fun. We tell stories, we share a lot of laughter, we explore themes that interest us. It’s a good way to grow your confidence, be creative with other people, practise English and escape the outside world for a few hours.
These sessions are run on Wednesday’s from 1030 – 1230pm in the Solace activity space.
Drinks provided, free to attend, Fall into Place can cover travel and interpreter costs.
Please feel free to email info@fallintoplace.co.uk if you have any questions.

Creative Community Resettlement (CCR) This Greater Manchester community offer provides create support, experiences and opportunities for people facing the greatest level of discrimination and adversity. The project has been funded by Arts Council England and One Manchester, vitally meaning that it is free at the point of use for all it’s beneficiaries.
Current referral partners include NW prisons, GM mental health units, housing associations and refugee and asylum seeker charities. Any adult or young person facing additional barriers and disadvantages, or facing mental health challenges is welcome to apply.
- To increase a sense of belonging, connection and purpose
- Improve well-being and mental health
- Develop protective measures and resilience
- Encourage work-based and creative skills
- 1-2-1 ‘wellbeing’ theatre workshops
- Specialist therapeutic theatre programmes (themes: relationships, resilience, communication, mental-health)
- Training and performing alongside professional artists/facilitators
- Beneficiary led performances, showcases, films, campaigns
- Paid professional opportunities for all participants
CCR wants to challenge the misconception that people who have experienced adversity, trauma and incarceration are ‘other’.
CCR does not think that people who have served custodial orders are the same as people who have been sectioned under the mental health act or the same as people seeking asylum, but it recognises that individuals with any of the previous lived experience are likely to have faced multiple barriers and trauma and require a needs-based, flexible, person-centred, trauma informed and safe approach to working with them.
CCR adopts high quality theatre, arts-practice and arts practitioners, that is also underpinned by therapeutic, trauma-informed, restorative, strengths based and non-violent communication approaches.
CCR is community-led, meaning that the design and practicality of the programme respond to the needs of the people and the communities we work with.
CCR is testing new ways of working and not conforming to the status quo in how people who face experience racism, inequalities, disadvantage and discrimination engage with theatre, arts and culture.
