Tales of The Sea was a drama & storytelling project in partnership with Project 49 working with their service users, adults with learning disabilities. Tales of The Sea allowed participants to learn new creative skills to tell their own stories & share their experience of living by the seaside in a celebration of their hometown & community.

The project culminated with a joyful sharing of the work created to a limited audience of Project 49 staff due to Covid restrictions. A film created with Film 49 by adults with learning disabilities documented the project and was shown at Focal Point Gallery’s Big Screen Southend in Spring 22.
