Purpose/role

Since its conception in 1978, Wedmore Theatre has become a cornerstone of the local community. Twice a year this talented ensemble produce a diverse range of performances, from classic plays and pantomimes to contemporary dramas and original works.
We are a welcoming and inclusive volunteer-driven group, drawing on the skills of our experienced members to nurture new talent both on and off the stage.
Whatever your age or experience, there are a number of ways to get involved. Whether you fancy treading the boards or hate the limelight, we are sure to have a role for you. It takes a big team to pull a show together, from sound and lighting technicians to stage managers, costuming and set construction – it’s all up for grabs and collaborating on each production is always a lot of fun!
If you would like more information or want to get involved in future productions please email productions@wedmoretheatre.com

Organisation Name
Purpose/role

Function/role: Village Agents work with people 18+ dealing with a wide variety of issues. This can include finding help in the home to maintain independence, support to engage in local activities and signposting to services individuals struggle to access.

Helping to solve these problems may, ultimately, help older people to remain living independently for longer. Village Agents also have the role of helping to shape services by feeding back to the appropriate body information about gaps in service e.g. transport provision. They can also motivate and support a community to respond to a local need by working together to address issues e.g. by helping them to set up a coffee morning for a group of people who are isolated or start a volunteer car scheme.

So perhaps our first point of contact for any local services relating to health and wellbeing could be our Village Agent.  Our Village Agent is:  Lina Curiale-Hopkinson  call 07375 371549
