Children taking part in a community performing arts session

Confidence starts with belonging.

We create supportive performing arts experiences where children can take part, be heard and grow in their own way.

Why we are here

Not every child gets the same opportunities to explore creativity, meet new people or feel confident in a group.

Confidence for Kids is a Wigan-based community interest company focused on changing that through accessible performing arts participation.

We believe performance is about more than being on stage. It can help children practise communication, develop friendships, express ideas and recognise their own strengths.

What guides our work

Children feel safe

Participation is encouraged with patience, clear expectations and respect.

Every voice matters

Children contribute in ways that work for their confidence and communication style.

Creativity is shared

Sessions build cooperation, listening and a sense of achievement together.

Opportunity stays local

We build relationships across Wigan so more children can access meaningful experiences.

Help a child find their voice.
