Make a donation
100% of public donations go towards funding free arts activities to local children in need in the School Holidays, which is a lifeline to parents who need urgent respite and who are struggling either emotionally, physically or financially. We currently have a waiting list for subsidised spaces and do have the capacity to expand. It costs £69 per day per child including breakfast and a hot meal, to sponsor a child to attend. Please give generously.
