Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Councillor Safiya Saeed, attended the sold-out event at The Showroom Cinema, presented by our Soap Box Collective.

Guests walked a red carpet before watching a selection of vibrant short films and performances made by the group.

Rosie MacPherson, joint CEO of Stand & Be Counted Theatre, said:

“We were blown away by the group’s creative work and its powerful impact.”

“Their films and performances touched on music, spiritual journeys and the meaning of home.

“The audience showed their appreciation with huge rounds of applause, it was an unforgettable night.”

Stand & Be Counted Theatre is the UK’s first theatre group of sanctuary, operating in Sheffield, Bradford and Oldham.

Its Soap Box group for adults seeking sanctuary produces inspirational creative work across diverse art forms. Previous work has included fashion shows, making football shirts and the storytelling and live music production Unplugged.
