Worcester Community Trust (WCT) is proud and excited to invite you to our very first WCT Kidz Live event at The University of Worcester Arena. The event promises to be a fun filled afternoon of entertainment and song with a blend of national and local acts taking the stage. Through social and personal development Worcester Community Trust aims to enable children, young people, families and communi
ties to access a wide range of positive opportunities and experiences that unlock potential, make their voices heard and create a greater sense of responsibility, security and solidarity with others. Throughout the summer of 2013, with support from Worcester Play Council and Worcester Municipal Charities, WCT delivered one of its biggest play schemes to date within areas of highest need across the city. We reached over 300 children and engaged 145 families in a jam-packed programme of fun and stimulating activities. One aspect of the programme was working with the children to identify their dreams and aspirations. Each of the children made a colourful hand print onto which they wrote a wish; these were attached to balloons and released into the sky. The wishes were also turned into ‘wish trees’ with many children asking to attend concerts or see performers they would not normally get the opportunity to see. This sparked the idea of holding our own concert for the children and their families. Originally, it was to be held at a WCT facility but as relationships developed with a range of businesses and partners, it soon became clear that the event had the potential to reach even more children and their families. This has led to the creation of WCT Kidz Live 2013. The support shown by partners and local businesses to make this happen has been quite overwhelming and we thank them hugely. The event has sourced national attention with a number of very high profile acts from The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent confirmed to play, as well as young local acts. We do hope you are able to join us and 2,000 local children and their families for what promises to be a fantastic afternoon of entertainment. We look forward to seeing you at WCT Kidz Live 2013.
