'We Are Theatre' support people with disabilities and at grass roots in Bridlington.
Their video is called 'A Christmas Wish' with the tag line 'roar with love'.
The group say it's about giving a voice to those who often feel excluded from their community and who this year have perhaps felt even more so.
Charlotte Grey is a Director at We Are Theatre:
"It started in April when we had the first lockdown. We couldn't connect with our disability members. We were desperate to get everyone back together because they are the forgotten community. We decided to rejoin the groups and introduce them to being part of this song. For us it was about sharing love, connection and unity, not division and this was an opportunity to get everybody involved. The filming was done over a period of 3 months. We put it together on Audacity and a movie maker. It's a bit raw but that's what we're all about, nothing flashy, just genuine people sharing their stories. It's just really nice to see the smiles that in a community where that is lost at the minute".
