We're at #Redbridge Town Hall today speaking at the Creative Health North East London Symposium, hosted by #NHS with @ncch.bsky.social & @artscouncilengland.bsky.social We'll be speaking about how to embed #creativity at the heart of #socialcare - something we are passionate about! Come say hi!

📢 Exciting news! 📢 We are delighted to announce Lines That Refuse To Behave, a new Submit To Love studio exhibition at the Bomb Factory in Shoreditch, 11 - 16 March. The exhibition is an exploration of artistic freedom, marks that wander, ideas that shift, and creations that refuse to conform.

Join us for "This Is Not A Performance…This Is Us!", a show created and performed by our drama group members. 🎭 Led by theatre-maker Tiiu Mortley, the show will be a celebration of stories that are as yet untold, from the experts – #braininjury survivors themselves.
