2010 SPECIAL COMMENDATION Supported by Fearless. A young theatre group who responded positively to the tragic murder of a local teenager by performing and running workshops in schools to get across the impact of violent crime and hopefully prevent similar attacks.
Who we are
30 young people
Where we're based
Cathedral School, Wakefield
When we started
July 2008
How we started
Inspired by the murder of 17 year old Hassan Ahmed who was stabbed to death in Dewsbury railway station, CAPA put together a performance to educate young people from across West Yorkshire about the dangers of knives and gang culture.
Our work
Trick or Treat tours schools from across West Yorkshire educating young people on the dangers surrounding knife crime and gang culture. Workshops are run after the performance in order to get students involved and give them a greater awareness of the problem.
Future plans
The future plan for Trick or Treat is to keep on touring the show so we get a wider audience. We plan to be able to tour the show more then once a year as it has had such an amazing impact on students watching the performance as well as the performers.
These young people have responded positively to a terrible event in their community and are using the message to educate others.
