Crowdfunding success for Silent Approach

We did it! Our upcoming project, Silent Approach – on which we’ll be collaborating with mental health organisation S.I.S Strength in Struggles – has achieved its crowdfunding target on Spacehive. This means that work can now begin on bringing it to life!

Our heartfelt thanks go out to all the wonderful people and organisations who donated in support of this really exciting project.

Silent Approach is a play based on the true story of Rebecca House, the founder of S.I.S and a former police officer who was sectioned under the mental health act. It explores the treatment of – and attitude towards – those in mental health crisis, and makes a powerful case for empathy and reform.

We’ll be touring Lancashire and Greater Manchester this autumn, so please watch this space for creative team and cast announcements, tour dates and much more! You’ll find all information and updates via the project’s dedicated Linktree:

Crowdfunding success for Silent Approach

Please help bring our next project to life

Plus: just a few tickets remaining for On Me 2025!

We only have 100 days to raise just under £30,000 to take Silent Approach on tour – and that’s not long at all! As we already have over 20 backers, this particular crowdfunding platform will consider matching 50% of our total – but it’s certainly not guaranteed.

Silent Approach presents the true story of Rebecca House, author of the book Police to Paranoia, and explores our treatment of individuals in mental health crisis. It also discusses how none of us are immune to mental health struggles. As part of our planned tour, we’ll be presenting wraparound activities and partnering with changemakers in a bid to make a real, positive impact on the current system.

If you possibly can, please donate to our crowdfunder to make this ambition a reality. You can give as little as £2 to help support an independent creative company and get this vital project in front of audiences. Please also share across your socials. Anything and everything you can do will give us a better chance of success!
