A story from the Syrian conflict: based on real-life accounts of refugees, aid workers, activists, and journalists.

In the besieged city of Aleppo, Salah and Aisha have lost control of their lives and are falling headlong into an uncertain future. The Syria they hoped to change is gone. In its place there is only violence and destruction. How will they survive as they fall further away from hope, from what they know and from what they used to be?

Compelling and moving contemporary theatre, based on real-life stories. 

Post show talk Wednesday 24 May.

2017 Volunteers’ Week is 1-7 June and we’re planning a few things during the week which we’d like you to join us with. Please do pass this on to your communications team to use.

Southwark needs you!

Share all the amazing ways in which you give back to the London borough of Southwark this volunteers week by encouraging your volunteers to tweet using the hashtags #Southwark #volunteer #iamthedifference to help promote volunteering in Southwark. 

This will be a great way to celebrate the impact volunteering makes in the borough and to create a conversation about the mutual benefits of volunteering. 
Ensure your organisation helps promote the celebrations by tweeting about your volunteers and those in our wonderful Borough by using the hashtags too – let’s see if we can get it trending! 
Our Twitter Campaign #iamthedifference – Share your images and quotes!

We’re creating images with quotes like this one for Shakespear’s Globe. So if you send us a picture and a quote we can turn it into this and share it. Please send these to: jo@communitysouthwark.org

Share your volunteer stories!
We’re collecting stories about why people volunteer, what they do in their role and what volunteering means to them. We’ll put these on our website through Volunteers’ Week and tweet them. Again, please email these to: jo@communitysouthwark.org

Our mass Volunteer Drop-In Day – Wed 7 June
On Wed 7 June we’re holding a mass volunteer Drop-In from 10.00am to 4.30pm at Cambridge House. If you have any roles that you would like us to promote please do send these through to: marissa@communitysouthwark.org Plus please do pass this on to anyone who might be interested. 

Surrey Quays outreach – Mon 5 June
On Monday 5 June from 11am-2pm we will be hosting an outreach session at Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. This a great opportunity to meet members of the public who you might not normally get a chance to interact with, promote your organisation and recruit some volunteers!

We’re looking for three organisations to do hour-long slots at this session. If you are interested please contact Alasdair: alasdair@communitysouthwark.org.

Peckham outreach – Wed 7 June
On Wednesday 7 June from 11am-2pm we will be hosting an outreach session at Peckham Library. This is also a great opportunity to meet members of the public who you might not normally get a chance to interact with, promote your organisation and recruit some volunteers!

We’re looking for three organisations to do hour-long slots at this session. If you are interested please contact Alasdair: alasdair@communitysouthwark.org.
