We will raise unrestricted funds to continue our mission to give disadvantaged, disabled, and vulnerable young people access to the transformative world of theatre. We offer heavily subsidised theatre trips, and run enriching drama projects in schools, youth groups, and other education settings.

Situation
Many disadvantaged, disabled and vulnerable young people can't access theatre, either as a participant or audience member. High cost is an obvious factor, but just as significant are social and cultural barriers and a lack of support for those who are vulnerable or have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). These children and young people therefore miss out on the life-changing benefits that seeing and participating in theatre bring.
Solution
We offer highly subsidised trips to London’s world-class theatre to schools, families and youth clubs, which open up this magical world. We also provide specialist support to those with special educational needs and disabilities to ensure theatre is accessible to them. We run theatre-based education projects that encourage creativity and personal growth, use drama as a tool to develop transferable skills and build self-esteem, confidence and resilience.
