YTD Raised: £795.00Who are we? We are a Bristol-based theatre company and since 1984 weve gained a fantastic reputation for creating inspiring shows for young audiences.We rely on help from individuals to support the work that we do through buying tickets to see our shows, donations and by volunteering on our projects. Their support is absolutely invaluable to us.So why should you support us?Our touring shows are the visible part of our work - what isnt in the public eye is the massive amount of participation work going on. Its this work which needs financial support. Our projects with young people who are disengaged from society, the youth theatre groups that we run and community engagement projects, all need support. For some young people, getting involved in our youth theatre has had a profound effect on their ability to manage their feelings and in particular, anger. We provide affordable experiences so that no child is excluded because of financial hardship. As one young person said recently - It’s cheaper so more people can join.If you can support us, please make a donation, no matter how small.Thank you.
