'Up To You' - KS2 Substance Misuse Education

Our most recent drugs education project is a stimulating and interactive theatre project focusing on solvents, alcohol and smoking.

Developed in partnership with local LEAs, it has been commissioned by York LEA for the past six consecutive years, providing great testament to the success of Figment's work on this issue. 'Up To You' explores drugs misuse as an obstacle to fulfilling ambitions and examines issues including peer encouragement, risk and consequence.
