Acting On Impulse
Introduction
Acting On Impulse is a UK-based nonprofit organisation founded in Manchester in 2007. It is registered with the Charity Commission under the number 1142502. The organisation's primary objective is to empower homeless and marginalised individuals through the performing arts, providing a platform for them to express themselves and build confidence.
Mission and Activities
The mission of Acting On Impulse is to give a voice to people who have experienced homelessness or marginalisation through film and theatre. The organisation achieves this by conducting acting workshops that foster creative skills, confidence, and self-esteem among participants[1][2].
Over the past 17 years, approximately 500 people have participated in various acting workshops, leading to the creation of over 70 films. These films range from short outreach projects to more ambitious productions with high production values, often featuring storylines developed by the actors themselves. Many of these films have been accepted into film festivals globally, with some receiving awards[2].
Impact and Achievements
The organisation's work has been recognised for its impact on the well-being and resilience of its participants. A documentary titled "The Making of Us" captures the process and impact of the programme, highlighting how the arts can positively influence lives on the margins of society. This documentary has won awards at film festivals, including the Soho London Independent Film Festival[2].
Objectives
Acting On Impulse aims to create a sense of purpose and community for individuals who have faced homelessness or marginalisation. By using drama and film, the organisation seeks to provide agency and skills development opportunities for those involved[5].
Additional Information
While specific details about the organisation's governance structure or annual reports are not widely available, its commitment to using the performing arts to enrich the lives of its participants is evident. Acting On Impulse continues to work within the Greater Manchester area, focusing on empowering individuals through creative expression[3][5].

Loving IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival, we’ve watched hours of excellent documentaries, animations and short films, such high quality. Lauren and Gavin did a Q&A about The Making of Us this morning, and the film was screened this afternoon. The audience were very appreciative, some lovely comments made to us after. Wish all our actors could have come on stage and taken the traditional bow. (fb)
On our way to the prestigious IN THE PALACE International Short Film Festival, Pernik, Bulgaria. So honoured that our documentary, The Making of Us, is being screened with the other Best Shorts, this Sunday, 29th June. We're in the category of 'Connection and Passion,' which describes what we're about perfectly. Can't wait to feast on the huge variety of films being shown. Thank you for choosing us, we'll be holding our actors in our hearts. (fb)
