♣️♥️♠️ Alice & The Hatter had the most splendid tea party with their friends at Bluebird Family Centre in Greenock on Monday! ♠️♥️♣️

🍄 With the help of the amazingly artistic Bluebird staff, we transported all of the children (and grown ups!) to Wonderland to celebrate a very special teacher’s retiral after 38 years of service!

🎩 We would like to say a huge thank you to the amazingly kind staff at Bluebird Family Centre for inviting us to be part of such a special event. Congratulations and happy retiral to the amazing, and clearly very well loved Hiltje - no doubt you will be sorely missed! Hopefully we will see you again in Wonderland soon for a cup of tea 🫖

Huge congratulations to our amazing pals at Prominence Academy of Performing Arts & Boogie Bugs on this incredible and well deserved award nomination 💜

We are so proud to be from Inverclyde - home to a number of inspirational, inclusive and all out fantastic opportunities for children and young people in the performing arts. Our arts scene has rivalled many bigger towns and cities for a number of years, and without having these opportunities growing up we would never have been able to pursue careers as professional performers 🎭

Well done friends 🫶

🌟 Inspirational Community Organisation🥹

We are blown away and very emotional about this nomination in amongst an incredibly busy season bursting with new members and community spirit. We strive to ensure that everything we do inspires our children to develop as confident, kind, whacky and caring individuals.

We’re so proud to play our part in the thriving theatre community here in Inverclyde. Without the support and collaborations with the other incredible theatre and performing arts groups we couldn’t do what we do. It really does take a village!

No matter what happens on the day being recognised is a win for us - Congratulations to all the other finalists let’s have a belter of a night🌟🫶🏼
