Drama@Drylaw

Drama@Drylaw is a friendly, informal group, facilitated by Freda O’Byrne, which comes together to move, chat, laugh and explore everyday life through simple drama activities.

The work they do is based on familiar, real-life situations, so it’s great for building confidence, communication skills and vocabulary – including for people who already have a good level of English and want to practise in a natural, supportive way. Everyone’s contributions are valued, and people bring their own experiences to the group.

Each session begins with gentle, mindful bodywork to help us relax and feel comfortable working together. There’s also time to catch up, share news and enjoy being part of a group before moving into creative activities.

The work is different every week, so if you miss a session because of appointments or family commitments, you can drop straight back in the following week.

There’s no acting, no scripts and no pressure to perform – just a chance to try something new in a safe, encouraging space.

Drama@Drylaw meets every Tuesday at the centre 10:30am – 12:30pm.

Everyone welcome.

FetLor seeks support for Summer Programme

PIG RACE NIGHT – 6th JUNE

 We are a group of parents and carers of the young people who attend FetLor Youth Club, and we are organising a Pig Race Night on 6th June to raise funds for an exciting summer programme for our young people.

Our aim is to raise £2,000, which will cover 20% of the expected summer programme costs and help provide planned activities, outings, and memorable experiences throughout the summer holidays.

We are currently looking for:

  1. Businesses to sponsor one of our races for £50
  2. Raffle prize donations from local businesses
  3. General donations towards our fundraising target

There are also fun ways for people to get involved on the night by naming, vetting, training, or owning a pig for £2.50, as well as purchasing raffle tickets for £1 per strip.

You will also see from the attachment we are hoping to have some friendly competition between the 3 main fast-food restaurants in the area where lots of our Young People visit – Nandos, Burger King and McDonalds.
