The Orpheus Centre is an independent specialist college in Surrey. They focus on developing independence skills through performing and visual arts and make dramatic improvements to young disabled adults’ lives.
Orpheus believes that every young disabled person should have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers and we offer a personalized study programme focusing on building independence, communication, and social interaction skills through the arts, supported housing, and personal care service. The students are between the ages of 18 and 25 and have learned and/or physical disabilities. Everything at Orpheus is focussed on maximizing lasting independence for our students.
The students who have been trained from Orpheus have performed at the House of Lords, the Royal Albert Hall and venues across the UK and worked with schools, prisons, community groups and businesses to break down barriers and challenge stereotypes.
The Orpheus Centre is a registered charity and we rely on donations to carry out our life-changing work with young disabled people. There are lots of ways one can support their work:
- Attend their fundraising events
- Take part in a challenge event
- Set up for regular gifts
