UK Big Give Appeal

We will hold our annual appeal early in December 2026, and we are seeking pledges now to build the £10,000 matching fund.

All money raised in the UK is spent in the UK, and Gift Aid adds 25% to gifts from UK taxpayers at no cost to you. £12.50 covers a child’s ticket and the transport that gets them to the theatre. Our ten-year goal is to reach 150,000 children, and have supported over 42,000 today.

‘As a family with limited money we are really grateful our child gets to experience these things through school. It really opens up their world to see what else is out there, as in our community going to the theatre is still not something that is particularly valued.’

There are three ways to help:

• Give monthly. A regular gift matters more than its size suggests, because it lets us commit to theatres months ahead rather than waiting to see what comes in. Donate today.

• Pledge toward the matching fund. If you can pledge before the deadline Friday 28 August, please contact us.

• Remember us in your will. A legacy gift costs nothing now and can fund thousands of first visits later. We are happy to talk it through in confidence. Find out more about Legacy Giving.
