Who are we?
Get The Chance is a social enterprise based in South Wales, working to create opportunities for a diverse range of people to experience and respond to sport, arts, culture and live events.
Get The Chance uses its online magazine website as a platform to showcase its activity. The website content features workshop activities and outcomes, reviews, editorial features and much more. Our website is a platform for our members to share, discuss and evaluate their personal responses with their networks and the wider world.
Get The Chance is the host organisation for members of Young Critics Wales, Community Critics Wales and 3rd Act Critics to host their activity and feedback.
Our Name –
Our name comes from a conversation between the comedian Billy Connolly and former Scottish trade union leader Jimmy Reid. At Reid’s funeral in 2010 Connolly stated;
“I remember him saying that if you look at these housing estates and high-rise flats – look at all the windows. Behind every one of these windows is somebody who might be a horse-jumping champion, a formula one racing champion, a yachtsman of great degree, but he’ll never know because he’ll never step on a yacht or formula one car – he’ll never get the chance.”
Connolly said those words still haunted him to this day.
