Five weeks ’til showtime, eek!
(update – only 2 now, extra eek!)
Our Celebrate show is a really special event for us, celebrating ten fantastic years, and many great achievements. We want to make the show accessible to as many people as possible – physically and financially – and also use it as an opportunity to continue raising funds towards our vision of an accessible performing arts venue in the area.
To that end, there are a number of ways that individuals and local businesses can get involved in supporting us as we Celebrate!
Raffle Prizes
We’ll be holding a raffle at each of the shows, and also at our Curry Night. If you are able to donate a prize or two that would be great. It could be a physical item – maybe even an unwanted Christmas present – or a service… maybe you run a salon and can donate a manicure, a gardener may offer an hour’s work…. you get the idea?
Advertising and Sponsorship
We have a number of opportunities for local businesses and organisations to advertise in the show programme from just £10, or even to sponsor a show or our VIP Charity Reception. Show sponsors would have an opportunity to promote themselves at the show, receive free tickets, be promoted in our programme at all shows, and also be promoted through our Social Media channels, and those of the company that is organising the sponsorship for us. Advertising starts at just £10 for a box ad or £50 for a full-size ad. Show sponsorship is £500 and could be classed as advertising/marketing or charitable donation if the accountants ask.
Match Funding
We have many other fundraising plans for 2014, some of which we have secured match-funding for from local and national businesses. If you work for a Company that offers charity match funding we’d love to hear from you!
Building work…
Finally we have some much-needed building work to commission, which will enable us to expand what we currently offer to local children and young people, in particular those who are disabled or have additional needs. To that end we’re also keen to hear from any builders or tradesmen who may be able to offer services or materials to the Charity.
If you’d like to help, want more information or have any suggestions that may help us achieve the next step of the journey please share them through the contact form below. Many thanks!
