At the Mercury Theatre, we are always striving to involve as many people as possible in what we do and to ensure that the arts is an accessible space for all. To help achieve this goal, we will be taking part in the ‘Big Give’ campaign, Arts For Impact, this March.
The Arts For Impact scheme aims to support arts and culture charities working to achieve societal impact across the UK. All donations that the Mercury Theatre receives between the 18 – 25 March will be matched by Big Give.
Our target is to reach £2,500 in donations, which would mean we receive £5,000 overall.
The money raised will enable us to continue our vital work within the community, working with some of the hardest to reach and most vulnerable groups. Your donations will help us provide:
- Bursary places for all the theatre’s Mercury Young Company groups
- Subsidised and funded activity for SEND young people
- Partnership working with local community groups including those working with refugees, LGBTQIA+ community, young carers
- Activities in care homes and residential units
- Support for young and/or emerging artists starting their careers
- Work in schools
Abbi Roberts, Development Director at the Mercury Theatre says:
‘This is a great initiative from the Big Give to support the arts nationally, and highlights the important work that so many organisations do within their communities. If anyone wants to donate towards our ongoing engagement work, this week is the perfect time because your donation will be doubled! We have a very supportive and dedicated audience so we’re really excited to see how much we can raise in seven days!’
