Happy 100th Birthday George Forster 🌹

Today we visited George’s memorial bench at the SAFC garden to wish George a happy heavenly birthday!

George Forster is one of our ‘Lasting Legacy’ sponsorships, this year supporting the cost of one of our local primary school children to take part in drama for the full academic year - thanks to the generosity of his friend Joanne Youngson safc_heavenbranch

We think of you each week George when we go in a see that child growing in confidence and full of smiles! Thank you for the impact you still make in our community!

Your Story!
Following the success of Willows on the Wear, we’re creating our next community production: Wear in Wonderland- a Sunderland reimagining of Alice in Wonderland and we’d love your stories, memories and ideas to help shape it!

What does Sunderland mean to you?
It could be a childhood memory, a local character, a favourite place, a family story, a Sunderland saying, match-day memories, a lost landmark or simply something that makes this city feel like home.
Your contributions will inspire an original production performed by our Community Company and children from primary schools across Sunderland in summer 2027.

Willows on the Wear brought together 70+ performers aged 6–76, with ideas shared between schools and our adult company. The project also created wonderful connections with the wider Sunderland community, including SAFC commentator Nick Barnes, former FA Cup winner Micky Horswill and the SAFC Heaven Branch.

Now we want to build on that success and create a Wonderland that truly belongs to Sunderland. Big or small, funny or moving, old or new, if it means something to you, we want to hear it.
We may not be able to include every contribution, but your stories will help shape the people, places and moments that make up our Sunderland Wonderland.

So tell us: what does Sunderland mean to you?

❤️🤍Together, we’re going to build our very own Wonderland.

*Please note by submitting your story you are consenting for it to be used within Wear in Wonderland and any relevant publications

The story of our Little Libraries continues, and this time we’ll be hiding books between our Little Libraries at Roker and Seaburn, ready for you to spot, discover and take home.

This week Holly visited North East BIC to take part in Nicola Leonard Coaching ‘s Solution Lab!

It was a fantastic experience to discuss and unpick problems in a liberating way with the guidance of an experienced and brilliant Operations and Change Consultant!

Participants discussed barriers and issues while tapping into different parts of the brain to find solutions!

We are always striving to better ourselves at Atlas Theatre Company CIC and it was a brilliant way to push forward and come up with ideas on how we can improve what we do to benefit those around us!
