The Habbit Factory Details
Founded in 2004, The Habbit Factory (THF) is an inclusive arts organisation working with children and young people in the London Borough of Havering – the 5th lowest child poverty rate in Greater London. As the only organisation that supports disability arts in the borough and through a targeted network of partners; our work effectively helps people facing higher-than-average levels of exclusion and deprivation. Our approach is built on the principles of inclusivity, which welcomes everyone; regardless of background, race and/or disability. In doing so, we welcome some of the most excluded and disadvantaged groups in the UK – children and young people who don't see themselves as artists and don't have access to any creative engagement or provision. We do this because we believe art has the power to effect change. Evidence continues to suggest that the creative arts is one of the most powerful tools to bring people together, breaking down social and cultural barriers, whilst helping the most vulnerable to lead a fulfilling and dignified life. From September 2021, we will re-start our full Membership Programme - 150 Members split across four categories: Infants, Juniors, Seniors and Adults. Members will be recruited through educational workshops in schools and local organisations and healthcare referrals. Members will attend weekly after school termly workshops and classes for 39 weeks of the year, working towards one large scaled performance made by/with/for Members. Workshops are designed to give Members emotional resilience, and our inclusivity methodology places the participant centre - focusing on three development principles: attitude, behaviour, and skill/educational.Every member with an additional need is supported 1:1 with an adult ‘buddy'. Our artistic team are highly trained and take the time to get to know each individual member's abilities and confidence levels, support them throughout workshops and rehearsals so they can enjoy the process.
