WHAT would happen if Warrington Wolves’ treasured Challenge Cup disappeared?
The answer – improbable though it might be – came in a comedy show staged at Priestley College.
The Voice – a group of adults with learning difficulties from the Oaks Day Centre in Warrington – visited the college to put on the comedy for students.
Formed some eight years ago, the Voice provides a vital outlet for the adults to perform through dance and drama, promoting their own empowerment and independence.
Although the performance was a comedy, it did have a strong and clear message based on the issues faced daily by people with learning disabilities.
The link between Priestley and the Voice is just the latest in a range of community programmes at the college.
Curriculum head Bev Devlin said: “The Health and Education Department engage actively with services all over Warrington and these mutually beneficial partnerships are great for both providers and students.
“The adults left buzzing after their show, as did our students who had a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining afternoon which also gave them a further indication of an area they may wish to pursue a future career in.”
