Changed
Word on the Kerb C.I.C. is a Community Interest Company focused on bringing the arts to marginalised communities. The organisation serves individuals affected by the criminal justice system, homelessness, addiction, and poverty, using theatre, storytelling, and workshops to inspire change.
Its flagship solo show, Something to Take Off the Edge, explores life in prison, addressing themes of friendship, addiction, literacy, and mental health. The show is performed in prisons, hostels, and community centres, often followed by Q&A sessions and creative writing workshops.
The organisation also runs spoken word performances and workshops, empowering participants to build confidence, develop skills, and express themselves.
Future plans include expanding tours and enhancing workshops.
