Who we are

IMPACT Theatre is a registered charity (1156915) and its main aims are to promote a positive image of disability and to develop communication and self-confidence, through participation in performing and creative arts and other supporting activities. 

IMPACT Theatre Company was set up in 1999 and then became the Charitable Incorporated Organisation IMPACT Theatre in 2014.

IMPACT Theatre is a pioneer in ensuring our organisation is user-led.
