To our wonderful supporters, friends and Reachout family,

​

After months of tears, thought, hours of chats, and careful consideration, we are ready to announce with you all the difficult decision to let the curtain fall on ReachOut Arts including our ReachOut Educate section, and from now we will no longer be in operation as a company.

Sadly, due to circumstances beyond our control and the growing challenges of running a small creative business, particularly in a rural area, we have now officially closed our doors.

​

Looking back, the 2024 festive season quietly and unknowingly became the final chapter for our festive pantomimes and immersive festive experiences, and this December whilst it has been quieter we have been so grateful to send our last educational tour out on the road, sharing one final ReachOut Christmas in front of lots of wonderful children. With the show now packed away and the van back home, our journey as a company has, with heavy hearts but positive mindsets, come to an end!

​

We are incredibly proud of what ReachOut Arts has achieved since 2017. From running theatre schools and working with thousands of young people, to touring across England with our workshops, creating large scale immersive productions, delivering workshops, publishing two children’s stories, festivals, and receiving awards, none of it would have been possible without our brilliant team and the amazing support we’ve had along the way!

​

From two passionate school best friends eating pizza and diet cokes deciding on a company name and how we could spread our creative magic with the world, wanting to show their ( then) tiny babies that they could achieve exactly what they want in life to now, 9 years later having achieved, met and experienced so much we couldn’t have asked for a better chapter in our lives together. We close the ReachOut chapter closer than ever as business partners and friends.

This decision has been made equally and with love for each other knowing this is the right decision, and we are excited with what our future holds both separately, but as always, together!

​

To everyone who has supported us, worked with us, and mostly BELIEVED in us, thank you. It has meant more than we could ever say.

​

While ReachOut Arts is closing, this isn’t goodbye to creativity, or indeed the Gem & Sas magic you have all come to know and love and will continue to work individually and together on a freelance basis as creative coaches and consultants going into 2026 and beyond!

​

Thank you for being part of our story. We will miss you all!
