Clowndoctors 25th Schools Celebrations (Oaklands, Fairview and Beatlie Schools) - Hearts and Minds. Improving lives, one smile at a time.

A BIG THANK YOU from Lucy, Co-Artistic Director for the Clowndoctors 25th Schools celebration

Hearts & Minds, home of the Clowndoctors, were delighted to have shared our birthday celebrations with ASN Schools Oaklands, Fairview and Beatlie over the past month.

We were honoured to celebrate with the children, young people, staff and families through theme events such sports day. Our Clowndoctors create unique playful encounters with children and young people in the here and now, whatever their circumstance, and throughout the celebrations we were able to extend these visits to include their families and friends.

Thanks again to all the school staff who continue to support our work, the families, carers, friends and of course the children and young people with whom the Clowndoctors have connected with and created playful meaningful encounters over the past 25 years. (
