Seven Decades Money Match
Match-funding to power the next seven decades
We're delighted to launch our Seven Decades Money Match campaign!
September marks our 72nd Birthday, and a generous supporter has committed to match-funding all donations between 12 - 30 September.
This means that for every £1 you donate until the end of the month, £2 will go towards our next Theatre Centre production, or more if you are able to Gift Aid. This will help us continue to take powerful, contemporary new writing directly into secondary schools and theatres.
Until the end of September, we will be celebrating our birthday together with you by sharing snapshots from our history, insights from the creative teams of our more recent shows, and a look behind the curtain at what it takes to put together a Theatre Centre show (not that our productions ever have curtains...). To start, you can read a little about our history here.
Could you make a donation?
“Theatre Centre continues to open up young people’s creative potential in new and dynamic ways. For young people to articulate and contribute their views and passions is vitally important for debate and for democracy.”
Why support Theatre Centre?
We believe in the power of theatre and creativity to impact the lives of young people. We create high-quality, relevant theatre and run year-round creative activities that put young people at the heart of our work.
Our Arts Council subsidy as a National Portfolio Organisation allows us to exist as an organisation and to employ our team. We rely on additional investment from friends and partners / our network / our supporters to help us make our shows, run Future Makers activity, remove financial barriers and work with young people, teachers, artists where they need us most.
We raise money from:
Trusts & Foundations who value our work and partner with us so we can make our impact in schools and communities.
Corporate partners who give us money and time as part of their commitment to social investment.
Passionate Individuals whose donations are a practical vote of confidence and belief in young people.
Your donation will put more high-quality, relevant theatre and creativity directly into the lives of young people, and give teachers and schools invaluable support at a time when creativity in education is under threat but creativity in society has never been more important.
“On the first [Future Makers] session I felt nervous to speak up. Now I’ve written and performed my speech in my front of everyone. I feel really proud of myself”
“For many students this will be their only opportunity to experience live theatre. It is critically important that they do. Thanks to everyone involved another excellent visit from Theatre Centre.”
“[Future Makers] has allowed me to reflect on myself and the world around me.”
