OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE THE SOCIAL MOBILITY OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE IN FENLAND AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE
Social mobility refers to changes in a person’s socio-economic situation, either in relation to their parents or throughout their own lifetime. It is linked to the extent to which people have the same chances in life regardless of the socio-economic background of their parents, their gender, age, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, birthplace, or any other circumstances beyond their control.
Social mobility can be measured in earnings, income, or social class but can also be understood to encompass other well-being dimensions such as health and education. To learn more , please watch this excellent video by Lee Elliot Major, the UK’s first Professor of Social Mobility

How are we doing
The following feedback has been gathered from young people, parents and head teachers:
I have been a part of 20Twenty Productions for coming up to three years and in this time of being a part of 20Twenty, I have made loads more friends. The experiences I have gotten to take part in, have been amazing. Especially while being an Arts Ambassador and experiencing lots of different art forms to understand the arts and creative industry better. One thing that 20Twenty has really helped me in, is my confidence. As when I started, I didn’t have much but now, its grown loads more. The last thing that I am going to say is that 20Twenty to me is like a second family as everyone’s so kind and cheerful, and when you need to speak to them about how you are they give you the best advice they can.
20twenty to me is a place I go where I know I’m accepted where I can go and no matter what’s happened or who’s there? It is always a good time. It’s not just a place Its a family even now while I’m at uni every time I pop in It was like opening a door and finding a room that somehow remembered you. 20twenty holds some of the best memory’s of my life, the feeling of being on stage with such an incredible group of people is unexplainable
l’ve been part of 20Twenty Youth Theatre for seven years now, and during that time, l’ve become both an Arts Ambassador and, more recently, a Wellbeing Ambassador. These amazing opportunities have helped me build confidence, work within my community, and share my skills with others. Not only have I gained incredible experience, but I’ve also made some of my closest friends through youth theatre. I’d highly recommend getting involved with any of the opportunities 20Twenty offers. it’s a fantastic way to grow your confidence and develop valuable skills.
My daughter has been attending 20Twenty for 5 years as part of the youth theatre group and has carried out Art Awards through them. As my daughter is home educated, I felt the need to keep her well socialised which was my decision behind enrolling her into a theatre group. She has also attended several art ambassador workshops over her time with them. Without wanting to seem overly dramatic, 20Twenty has made the biggest positive impact on her life, out of any other club she has enrolled in. They have almost become like another family to her, she can’t wait for rehearsals each week at theatre! She is passionate about singing, dancing and drama and she has grown so much in her confidence and self-belief. The theatre group is professional in their approach, providing talented tuition by qualified dance instructor and drama teacher. 20Twenty gives children inspiration and opportunity to develop in themselves and they motivate the children to want to perform to the best of their abilities. They treat the young adults with respect and encouragement.
Thank you so much for putting on such an amazing event! The kids (and staff) had such an incredible day!! It was so well organised and so inclusive. We truly appreciate all the effort that has gone into planning The Big Sing. Please pass our thanks on to the whole team!
Our children have benefited greatly from our association with 20Twenty Productions. They have provided our children with enrichment activities and enhanced provision to our curriculum. The children and staff always have an enjoyable learning and fun experience whatever the activity or program. Their great organisational skills ensure the days are perfectly planned and delivered with a high level of skills and knowledge. They allow us to provide our children with experiences that leave a lasting memory for them.
We are so grateful to 20Twenty Productions for all the additional opportunities that they have been able to offer our school. They work in partnership. We have 25% SEND and 45% Pupil Premium and with these challenges has come OPPORTUNITIES from 20Twenty Productions. The range of provision is amazing. They have adapted and developed stand alone lessons and programs, they have developed competitions for our children, exposed them to more opportunities that we could offer. Music and Computing, Forest School and Reading – the range is endless. The staff and leaders are approachable and this relationship is key to us being able to enhance the life opportunities of our children. Thank you 20Twenty Productions.
