The History of the Misfits
The Misfits started in 1996 as Silent Zone at a day centre, moving to ACTA in 1999 where a group for younger people started. The Misfits moved to Stokes Croft in 2010 and added a movement group to the week, the poetry group started 2017. Alongside the groups developing our training and commisioned work has taken us on trips around the world - what a lot of fun!
'It's always a pleasure to collaborate with The Misfits for the video articles that Disability & Society produces annually. Their creativity and talents really add value to each video and they're a splendid group of people to work with!'Anne-Marie Callus | Associate Professor PhD (Leeds)
