Why support Theatre Centre?

We are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young people through high-quality, relevant theatre and creative activities.

As a registered charity, we must raise approximately £160,000 each year to sustain the quality, depth, and reach of our programs.

We are very grateful for our Arts Council subsidy as a National Portfolio Organisation; it allows us to exist as an organisation and to employ our team. We rely on additional investment from the community to help us make our shows, run Future Makers, and above all remove financial barriers and work with young people, teachers and 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 and committed individuals who understand that their donations are a practical vote of confidence and belief in young people

We genuinely can’t do it without you. We make our money work hard, and every philanthropic penny we receive gives us hope and energy. Giving money is also an act of love - it sends a message to marginalised young people that they are listened to, valued and trusted, and that people care about their lives, their future, their potential, and their ambitions.

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 and in the workplace has never been more important.

On the first 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.
