Our work changes the lives of our actors and participants.
We know the difference arts and theatre can have on people’s health and wellbeing.
Our Impact Report demonstrates the social economic value we have on the arts, exploring the life changing stories of the people we work with.
This is our impact. This is their story of change.
We are the change makers...
What is social impact?.
It’s the change that we created in the lives of our actors, participants, their families, staff and the arts sector. Over the course of a year our researchers unearthed some key themes that makes Hijinx so important as Wales' leading inclusive theatre company.
