About PURE
Pure Creative Arts is a dynamic Theatre in Education Company that uses theatre productions and interactive workshops in schools and youth groups across Merseyside and beyond to tackle subjects that young people find hardest to talk about.
"Your work is invaluable - 'breaking the mould' and making a very relevant contribution to education for this generation." Mrs Troughton Ainsdale High School
The team consists of professional and talented performers and school workers who work sensitively and effectively with young people, enabling them to talk about the issues that affect them most.
'Rates of self harm in the UK are among the highest in Europe'
Pure believe young people need to be given space to discuss the things that affect them and create an environment that enables them to open up and discuss the questions they have whilst being supported to work through the issues they are struggling with.
'Around one in every twenty girls in the UK are estimated to have anorexia nervosa'
Pure is a multi-faceted organisation which uses many creative disciplines within schools and youth settings, with multi-media theatre productions, high impact dance and music performances, and interactive workshops.
'One in every ten babies born in England is to a teenage mum'
