Luxome’s Charity of The Year, Time Out Group, held the premiere of their animated film at The Rex Cinema in Wilmslow. Based in Handforth, Time Out Group provides adults with a learning disability, including autism, with a range of activities to help them improve their confidence, independence, health, wellbeing and happiness.

On the 5th December 2024, The Rex welcomed the members, parents and team from Time Out Group to a private screening of The Voyage of Hope. Matt, of Technically Brilliant Club and the animator behind the film, describes the picture as “a journey of discovery which emphasises the powerful connection the members have with Time Out Group and a documentary showing some of the activities that take place during an ordinary week at Time Out Group.

The original concept for the film came from Time Out Group’s Stakeholder Engagement Manager Darren Bee, the lyricist and vocal producer is Elena Whiteley and the percussion producer is Jess Holding. Funding from the Lottery, The Iron Bridge Trust, Boshier-Hinton Foundation and others made this event possible. Thank you for your consideration.

Luxome’s CCO Aarti Takiar joined the cinemagoers at the premiere, saying “The energy of all the members and Time Out Group team was invigorating, it was an honour to be part of this night of celebration”

Charity Manager Jo Adams said “this is a significant milestone for the charity, after securing £220,000 of National Lottery Funding last year we’ve been working hard to tell our members' story. The premiere provides a focal point for our members and stakeholders to come together and celebrate that story”
