What People Are Saying

Don’t just take our word for it! Parents, carers, members, the general public and even the media all have wonderful things to say about us.

  • “All the participants were thoroughly enjoying themselves and were having a truly great time. A joy to witness and provided a great deal of pleasure for everyone including the audience.”

  • "Freewheelers is family. It is a place to get our voices heard and a place where everyone matters. It is somewhere where we can be challenged and grow, somewhere where we are one and able to achieve the impossible."

  • “Very moving, very atmospheric - effect of old film behind very good. Clever performance - nothing negative. Excellent singing.”

    Audience Member

  • “Being a member of FWs has allowed my creativity to be harnessed, nurtured and recognised in a way that has helped me remain a whole human being. Being disabled isn’t the entirety of ME. I am a free spirit who needs to exercise my artistry. Being with other creatives helps me to remain normal in an insane and prejudiced world.”

  • “Freewheelers has given me the chance to meet new people, improve on existing skills as well as learn new ones and most importantly get some focus, some energy, confidence and drive back. So much so that I am now working with other friends on some of their projects and they are suggesting when I am able to return to work I might want to think about doing freelance media work. Don’t worry, whatever happens I will make time for Freewheelers - it will take a lot to get rid of me now!”

  • “During the six years that our son has been attending Freewheelers Theatre and Media, the dance and drama sessions have become the highlight of his week. He absolutely loves the team work and the excitement of the annual stage performances. Not only is the experience enjoyable, but the weekly lessons have helped his social skills and greatly increased his self-esteem”

    Parent of Member

  • “The Freewheelers Theatre and Media Company saw the creativity in me. With their guidance and support, I am doing something that I get real pleasure out of”

    Member

  • “Freewheelers has been good for me over the years, it has encouraged me to do things I would never have dreamed of. Taking part in performances and also helping in a small way with management and other tasks, also it is fun.”

    Member

  • “I liked the theme running through, historical photos, historical posters, the variety in the cast, remarkable abilities, and enjoyment of the cast. I liked the signer being amongst the action.”

    Audience Member

  • “Very professional and well-rehearsed. Excellent!”

    Audience Member

  • "You were all so approachable, lively and positive. The Dance workshop was well planned and gave the children time to think about disability and how it impacts on daily life as well as leisure activities. It reinforced the idea of ‘I can’ especially to those children who have their own difficulties."
