Bethan, aged 12, third CFYT show
CFYT to me is one big, loving family where no matter who you are, or where you come from, you are made to feel welcome. Having the amazing opportunity to be part of the Christmas shows has really boosted my confidence and helped me to express who I am.

As this is my first show here, I only knew a handful of people, but because everyone was so kind it wasn’t difficult to make new friends.

Performing in a CFYT show is such a special experience. It gives you lots of support and you make so many incredible friends.
