We’re excited to share the latest happenings at LEGS Creative Arts! Our team has been busy developing new, creative projects that continue to inspire, engage, and bring our community together through the power of the arts. As we move forward, we’re expanding our offerings to reach even more people of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re interested in dance, theatre, music, or visual arts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out our upcoming events and programmes. We can’t wait to create with you!

We are excited to announce our new programme, 'StrongHER,'made possible through funding from the NHS Health Improvement Fund CDCF. This initiative aims to support girls aged 10-16 yearsold in Horden, addressing their unique needs and challenges. Operating from the Horden Youth Hub in Peterlee, 'StrongHER' will deliver a diverse range of activities, including dance, drama, gymnastics, circus skills, and hula hooping, helping girls to keep fit, gain confidence and experience positive interactions with peers.

Our currently funded projects reach County Durham and South Tyneside, get in touch for details. ‘Little Legs’ with sessions for children in Wheatly Hill message james@legscreativearts.com for availability and timetable and ‘Every-body Active’ which is a brand-new project funded by Sport England. We’re delivering a project of fitness and dance to people aged 18-25 years old who live with a disability, with sessions in Temple Park Centre in South Shields and Hebburn Central in Hebburn.

Our funded projects ‘Dancing Legs’ and ‘Little Legs’ will run until 15th of December and resume their delivery in January 2024. We are forever grateful for the opportunity to work with our wonderful communities supporting them at the earliest possible stage and improving the quality of lives. We are excited to see what 2024 will bring but for now Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

‘Be You!' we’re so proud of the work we have been doing thanks to the NHS Community Mental Health fund. We have been working with so many great schools and venues including Hopewood Academy and Aycliffe School and we’re beginning another set of our sessions just after Easter in Durham Trinity School continuing to support children and teenagers with disabilities and learning difficulties with dance provision.

We're excited to see what new projects and ventures 2023 will bring! We're motivated to continue our work in the community, encouraging and promoting creativity across the Northeast! Hoping that this year we'll extend our reach even further and work with more and more wonderful people in our local communities! Our currently running FREE project ‘Be You!’ funded by the NHS Community Mental Health fund resumes its delivery in Durham Trinity School. FREE dance and fitness sessions at the Hub of Wishes in Newton Aycliffe every Friday 11am -12pm thanks to Sport England. Keep your eyes peeled for more new projects to follow soon!
