Changing Lives
Since 2007 funding from The Leverhulme Trust has provided development opportunities for more than 350 Central students.
Our students have worked around the world, including the slums of Mumbai, South African townships, and in prisons in the UK and abroad.
This funding has contributed to the high employment or further study rate of Central’s applied theatre students (96.2%).
