Founded in February 2018, Spotlights Community Youth Theatre was set up as a registered charity (SC048229) to provide an affordable education in the theatrical arts. Regular classes for children and young people interested in dramatic arts currently run on a Sunday evening in Forfar for both 4 -11 year olds and 12-17 year olds covering singing, dancing and drama to provide a well rounded theatrical education. In addition to classes Spotlights produces a yearly show and often also performs a showcase, which allows the students to really show off the skills they’ve been learning with many of our students participate off stage as well as on stage, taking on roles such as choreographer and stage crew. We are currently looking for volunteers to assist with the running of our theatrical classes and help young people with additional needs fully participate in classes and reach their full potential. Classes run weekly on a Sunday evening, younger group (4-10 years) from 6 - 7.30pm and 7 - 8.30pm for seniors (11 - 17 years). If interested, get in touch to find out more.

Do you have a few hours to spare one Sunday afternoon a month to drive a lonely older person to afternoon tea? We need volunteer drivers, using their own cars, to collect guests and take them to a volunteer host's home. Once there you will take part in the tea party for a couple of hours, meeting other drivers and guests, before returning your guest home again.
