WHO WE ARE
AND WHAT WE DO
is a dedicated support service committed to changing the narrative for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in the creative arts. We believe that everyone should have equal opportunities to be seen, heard and to express themselves creatively, regardless of their background or identity.
We work with individuals, groups and organisations in the creative arts to provide tailored support, guidance, and empowerment. From workshops and training sessions to consulting and mentorship programmes, we offer a range of services designed to cultivate a culture of inclusivity in your working environments.
For us, changing the narrative is not just a tagline; it's a lived experience and story we are commitmented to tranforming for those who walk behind us. Our mission is to lead the creative arts industry toward a more inclusive and empathetic future.

Sensitivity Reading
Sensitivity reading services involve reviewing scripts or creative materials to ensure that they accurately and respectfully represent diverse identities, experiences, and perspectives. We work to identify potential stereotypes, biases, or inaccuracies that may perpetuate harmful stereotypes or misrepresent marginalised communities.

Supporting Challenging Material
Our decompression spaces service offers support for companies working with challenging material, particularly those that may trigger emotional responses from an equity, diversity and inclusivity perspective. These spaces are designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to decompress, process emotions, and engage in self-care practices after engaging with sensitive or triggering content.
