Support Us

Please help us to share world-class creative experiences with people from all backgrounds

As a registered charity, we rely on the generosity of trusts, foundations, and individual donors to keep our doors open and our lights on; to provide great entertainment at affordable prices and accessible participatory cultural opportunities, to thousands of people a year for free.

Now, more than ever, people need the life-enhancing benefits that engaging with the Arts can bring. 

Please consider a one-off or regular donation and help us entertain and engage even more people in the months to come.

LET'S BE MATES | MAKE A DONATION

You can make a regular donation to us via direct debit or you can make a one off donation.

By making a regular monthly gift through Edge Mates, your support will enable us to make more stories with more people. It means that we can continue to offer a diverse, world-class theatre programme while keeping ticket costs down and being as accessible as possible.

You can choose the amount you give us but below is an idea of how your money can help us. Don’t forget that if you are a UK taxpayer any donation you make can be increased by 25% at no cost to yourself by providing us with consent to claim Gift Aid.

HOW YOUR MONEY MAKES A DIFFERENCE

BRONZE

£5/month or £60 a year provides weekly refreshments for Expressive Edge.

One of the many benefits of Expressive Edge for participants is the opportunity to meet and socialise in the breaks, making new friends and sharing their experiences.

SILVER

£10/ month or £120 a year helps people who are homeless to participate in a theatre project.

Our theatre programme with people who are homeless and people at risk of homelessness allows people to develop new skills and increase their confidence by getting involved with regular rehearsals and working towards a public production.

GOLD

£25/month or £240 a year enables a child with Down’s Syndrome to attend our weekly youth theatre group

Our weekly theatre group is a fun way to develop confidence, self esteem, social, speech and language and communication skills for young people with Down’s Syndrome

PLATINUM

£50/month or £600 a year contributes towards the cost of training for adults with learning disabilities in our cafe The Dressing Room

The Dressing Room is not only a lovely café, but also a dedicated catering and restaurant training facility for adults with learning disabilities. Trainees have the opportunity to learn skills that can be applied in a real working environment and also transferred and applied to other areas of life.

OTHER WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT US

SIP OR ATTEND TO SUPPORT

Because we are a charity, every time you buy a ticket, sign up to a course or buy a coffee in our café, you are supporting our work with vulnerable adults and young people.
