“CYTO changed my life and I have no doubt it is still changing lives. An amazing and very special organisation”
“Being with wonderful like-minded people who will accept you whoever you are and no matter what your background”
Croydon Youth Theatre (CYTO) gives young people, aged 13 – 22, from across the borough and neighbouring areas, access to drama and theatre activities to increase their confidence and life skills. These activities immensely enrich our members’ lives and the lives of our communities.
Strategic aims
• To provide opportunities for creating live theatre performance for members with a range of abilities and experience, enhancing their life and employment skills.
• To include young people in the programming process, producing high quality work that is relevant to their lives and reflects their concerns.
• To create stronger communities, developing partnerships with schools, stakeholders and community groups, and engaging volunteers in widening participation.
• To be truly diverse and inclusive in all our practices and activities, reflecting the communities we serve. www.cyto.org.uk
