Attic is an arts organisation based in Mitcham, South London.

Attic believes in the power of stories and creativity; that telling your own story or bearing witness to another’s enhances people’s lives in big and small ways.

We do two this in two ways:

• Commission and produce new theatre. We work with leading artists and a variety of partners to make relevant and high quality work which tours to lots of different locations. You’re as likely to see us in a library or park as a theatre or arts centre.
• Develop and deliver a vibrant and varied participatory programme, centred in our borough of Merton. We focus on working with young people and older people and run weekly workshops as well as one off summer schools and short courses with a whole host of incredible partners including local schools, the Merton Memory Hub, Mitcham Town Community Trust, Green Arts Centre, Learn English Together in Merton and the Sherwood School. In the surrounding areas, we work with Sutton & District Training, CARAS (Community Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers) in Tooting and Bromley & Croydon Women’s Aid.

We are a registered charity and are grateful for the ongoing support of Merton Council and project funding from Arts Council England,  The Jack Petchey Foundation and The Wimbledon Foundation amongst others.
