NOVEMBER Workshop SChedule

Hello Everyone, 

November has arrived and here at UCAN Productions we’ve had a busy month. We’re looking forward to what November has to offer us. 

As you all know we ran some face to face activities for October half term and it was so much FUN!!! 

Thank you to all our young people who attended our events. 

A massive thank you to our volunteers who came along to the Wales Millennium Centre for our Halloween party. 

We want to give a ‘shout out’ to The SenCom Centre in Cwmbran and Wales Millennium Centre for hosting our activities, and as always a HUGE thank you to our workshop leaders who made the events so special for everyone. 

For November we are continuing to run our regular workshop programme. You’ll be able to find all the details below. We hope you all have a lovely month and we look forward to getting together in person again soon. 

All the best

UCAN Productions
