Cardboard Citizens changes the lives of homeless people through theatre and the performing arts. We know that theatre can be a catalyst for change, growth and learning for participants and audiences. Every year we reach over 1,500 homeless and at-risk people in London through:
 

  •   Performances featuring actors with actors who have experienced homelessness, in 40 hostels and day centres every year

 

  •   Workshops in drama, dance and music for homeless people

 

  •   Individual support to help homeless people rebuild their lives

 

  •   Theatre shows for the wider public based on the experiences of homeless people and featuring actors with experience of homelessness.
