Welcome to Outside The Box

Our Story

Outside The Box is a registered charity who develop participatory and wellbeing activities with, by and for people in Calderdale. Our team have a wealth of experience in creative engagement, the third sector and youth services, and all share a passion for using creativity to enhance wellbeing, particularly for young people with learning differences and/or neurodiversities such as autism.

Our charity has grown from Orange Box Choir, a community choir that began in 2017 and is well-known in Calderdale for engaging young people and young adults with a range of support needs, and was proudly nominated for a National Diversity Award in 2020. We are now the proud winners of the 2023 Community Spirit Award for 'Best New Charity’.
