UCAN Productions
Professional Actor and Director Actor Bernard Latham and his wife, Jane, set up UCAN Productions so that children with visual impairments in Wales could be given access to the arts.
UCAN Productions is a 'not for profit' co-operative which aims to increase opportunities for visually impaired young people to participate in the arts. UCAN Production works in partnership with RNIB Cymru. We are currently working in Wales, but will work anywhere in the UK if there is a demand.
