“To advance education in all areas including Expressive Arts, in particular for those with additional needs.”
What the charity funds
Our Initiatives
Bedazzle Projects aims to facilitate a wide range of Bedazzle endeavours — from award-winning stage productions and short films to student bursaries and professional training courses.
Bedazzle Inclusive Productions
Bedazzle Projects founded BiP — Bedazzle Inclusive Productions — in 2021, creating a dedicated platform for inclusive stage and film work that celebrates all abilities.
INCLUSiVE Talent Agency
Our unique talent agency was founded initially to support our BAPAA students, and has grown year-on-year so that it’s now open to all. We have successfully placed our artists in a wide range of performing arts projects from prime BBC drama to online AI applications.
Training Courses
As leaders in all-inclusive education, Bedazzle is commissioned to run training provision for education professionals, and has funded health & wellbeing workshops and Routes to Work programmes for students.
Student Bursaries
The charity offers a limited range of bursaries to those who would benefit most from extra financial help — ensuring financial circumstances are never a barrier to participation.
Groups & Courses
Bedazzle Projects supports and has financed almost all of Bedazzle's groups and courses — Community Theatre, PopSchool, the annual Imagine… showcase and BAPAA.

Legacy landmark
I’m Non-Typical, Typical
Our multi-media stage show ran for 10 days at the Edinburgh Fringe — a success with a host of awards. Funded entirely by Bedazzle Projects, the production became a landmark for the organisation, directly leading to the establishment of BAPAA and the founding of Bedazzle Inclusive Productions.
A short film of the production followed — directed by Sarah Leigh, whose subsequent work on Typical won the Craft Director award at the Royal Television Society.
