From the 11th to the 14th of January, PEP Enterprise teamed with the Goofus Theatre and The Whitaker Museum to deliver a creative and interactive workshop for refugee families in Rossendale.
The ‘Animate and Create’ workshop was a great opportunity to allow families to explore puppetry, music, and art, all of which would culminate in a final animation piece. The workshop gave refugee families the opportunity to tell their own stories and culture through animation, providing an interesting insight into different identities, as well as promoting inclusivity and cross-cultural understanding!
Thank you to all those involved in this project. It was fantastic to see many happy faces, and everyone firmly enjoying themselves!
On 17th December, we at PEP Enterprise will be taking refugee families to the Moonsmile performance at #The Whitaker in Rossendale!
Moonsmile is an exciting theatre performance by the Goofus Theatre, a puppet, mask, music and play company seeking to provide a creative, imaginative and thought-provoking experience through a non-verbal puppet show.
If any refugee families are interested having a great time exploring surrealism, folklore, circus and the fantastical, be sure to get in touch with us before they are fully booked!
We and the families we work with are no doubt excited!
Head down to our Thursday Refugee drop-in session to talk with Nikki and Shaf from Lancashire Police. They will be here to answer any questions on all things policing!

We want to take this opportunity to congratulate one of the refugees we work with from Rossendale who has successfully passed their UK Driving Theory Test!
It is great to hear that they benefited from taking part in our bespoke free online driving theory workshops for refugees and asylum seekers!
