Punchdrunk Enrichment creates immersive theatre experiences to inspire children and empower teachers. In 2025 we'll welcome schools to our venue in Brent for a show about the value of everyone’s story. This campaign aims to raise £15,000 for as many children to experience the show as possible.

Beneficiaries
Situation
Brent is recognised as a culturally underserved area where 33% of families are low-income & schools lack funding for the creative arts. This directly impacts children’s creativity and hinders their education & life chances. Schools cannot afford to take children to the theatre or equip teachers with immersive learning techniques. In Brent, 65% of people are from a global majority background. The arts are not representative of the lived experience of audiences. This negatively impacts us all.
Solution
We are creating a production for the children of Brent that will showcase the telling of new stories, from new perspectives. Through this project children will gain essential skills, build confidence and have fun. We’ll ignite creative learning in their school, introducing our immersive education approaches to teachers and supporting the whole curriculum. We prioritise schools based on metrics of free school meals and English as a second language to identify where the need is greatest.
