Thalia is an independent educational 'arts' related learning provider for disabled people.
Thalia is an independent educational 'arts' related learning provider for disabled people with physical and sensory impairments and learning difficulties in particular but not exclusively. We provide learning opportunities for adults post 18 during the day, three days per week. We are based at St Saviours Church in Magdalen Street, Norwich.
We believe the arts are a stimulating and engaging way of learning and developing essential skills appropriate to the workplace and a rich full life.
We are a member of the Norfolk Social Enterprise Network and are committed to a sustainable future. We offer issue based workshops, performances, consultancy and training to you or your organisation.
