“I was delighted to come along to present certificates to committed members of Big Bad Wolf. It is heartening to see so many enthusiasts giving effort and time to the amateur stage. The process of learning stagecraft contributes to the confidence of young people which they can take to any path in life. Noda aims to support and encourage young people to discover the delights of performance. Congratulations to all those gaining an award.”

Safe Drive Stay Alive

Posted on May 27, 2013November 4, 2013

Big Bad Wolf Children’s Theatre Company members and their families participated in the production of a new road safety film as part of the Safe Drive Stay Alive campaign.

Gordon Pryde, SDSA co-ordinator and group community safety manager at Central Scotland Fire and Rescue Service said, “Road crashes are traumatic for everyone involved, from the victims and their families to the emergency service personnel attending. Since the campaign started in 2007, we have completed 66 shows, reaching thousands of potential young drivers. There is no doubt SDSA has a huge effect on the pupils and our hope is that they will remember what they have seen and heard when they take to the roads themselves and drive more safely as a result.”

The hard-hitting short film underlines the devastation to families of serious and fatal road crashes

Input from A&E nurses, disabled victims and their families, ambulance, police and fire service personnel and a funeral service presided over by a real chaplain all help drive home the message.
