"And it was all a dream" has all the elements of a great panto
🎭 Gender role reversal
🎭 A storyline of good vs evil
🎭 Slapstick comedy
🎭 Colourful, eccentric costumes
🎭 Audience participation
We hope you are all ready to join us!

With only 10 days until the Panto returns to your screens, we thought you might like to practice some of the dances, so you can join in on the night!

We had soooo much fun when Jo & Sparky (@playgemradio) came to audtion for our panto! They did a great job but we think they should stick to presenting - keep watching to see what roles we gave them in our panto!

Sunday is #WorldMentalHealthDay, it can be overlooked & underdiagnosed - as a result of poor understanding, awareness, or mistakenly attributed to a learning disability. Everyone needs a break, FTM can help.

Today is World Smile Day! We wanted to share a smile with you and ask how will you be getting involved?

🙂 Its simple… Do an act of kindness.

🙂 It’s a mantra we try and use everyday 🥰
