A core value of the EDF Energy Spafest is giving access and enabling participation. The outreach and education programme ‘M’Brace provided a packed programme of events for all ages and abilities throughout the 2-week festival.
The M'Brace outreach programme took the festival to those who would normally be unable to attend. Comedians, artists and musicians visited hospices, care homes for the elderley, children's homes and special needs centres, while an allocation of tickets for events were given to disadvantaged groups and disability groups with mobility transport provided.
Workshops provided fun education programmes for children and adults of all abilities.
Vicki Haxton, operations director said ‘The M’Brace programme has given enjoyment and encouragement to so many of all ages, it has been one of the highlights of the festival. I would like to say a special thank you to the Christchurch Centre for hosting the education programme and to M’Brace sponsors Allianz Cornhill and HR Experts’.
