On June 21st, we will attempt to set a new WORLD RECORD for the most simultaneous table reads and performances of William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream in support of Compass Collective. We will be part of about 30 different mini-productions, raising funds to support young refugees and asylum seekers across the UK. And if you’ve always fancied yourself as a bit of a Shakespearian thesp – you might get a chance to read a part too!

About Compass Collective

Compass Collective helps young refugees and asylum seekers build resilience and integrate into the UK. They provide vital support, creative opportunities, and a sense of community to prevent isolation for those arriving to the UK unaccompanied. Each year, they support around 350 young people aged 18-26 from 28+ locations.

Thanks to your generosity, they can continue to provide vital programmes that help young people develop communication skills, build confidence, and access opportunities in education, training, and employment.
