🎭 Theatre is a Right, Not a Privilege. Let’s Double the Impact. Imagine growing up never setting foot in a theatre. This year’s SOLT-UK report revealed a 50% drop in school theatre trips—that’s thousands of kids missing out on moments that ignite creativity, boost confidence, and expand their minds We’re not okay with that. At the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre, we believe every child deserves to sit in a theatre, let their imaginations run riot, and feel like anything’s possible. That's why we’re running the Big Give Christmas Challenge to raise £20,000—and thanks to matched donations by the amazing The Childhood Trust, every pound you give will be doubled. What does that mean? ✨ £50 becomes £100—enough for tickets for 7 young people 🗓 Save the dates: 3rd–10th December. 🎟 Donate and double the impact. 📣 Share this with anyone who believes in the power of the arts and creativity. This isn’t just about theatre—it’s about making sure the arts are for everyone. Hit the link 👇🏾 https://lnkd.in/gDGzg9QE #BigGive #LyricHammersmith #CreativityForAll

Small gestures at scale make a big impact, so why not consider what you could donate to the Old Fire Station’s Big Give campaign. https://lnkd.in/eFJ5QeVH People need a place to feel welcome, express ideas and passions, think through changing times, or escape into art, dance or a show. These opportunities often don’t exist for people with fewer resources, and the combination of Covid, the cost-of-living crisis and stretched frontline services means there are many people who are not being represented or included in the arts. Through working more inclusively, over the next year the Old Fire Station in Oxford expects a footfall of 25,000 people in our building. Some will come to see a show or join a workshop, some will be moving on from homelessness or social crises, others will be volunteers, trainees or refugee women working for Damascus Rose Kitchen. Our work helps people feel part of a community and less isolated, make connections and build networks, improve wellbeing and a sense of purpose, feel heard, represented and valued.

With more and more of arts funding being cut, the reality is that many non profits must rely on the valuable support of individuals and organisations that are equally passionate about the creative industries and about seeing more diversity in these spaces. #SupportTheArts #ArtsFunding #CreativeIndustries #SupportTheArts #ArtsFunding #CreativeIndustries #SupportBlackArts #BlackCreativeIndustries #BlackArtsFunding #BlackNonProfits

Realtime video of laser marking some stainless steel plates, with the addition of upbeat/relaxing music. Watching steel change colour is quite relaxing which is why I'm mostly stress free 😊 Thanks to Dale Sheetmetal for partnering up for the cause. #stainlesssteel #laser #lasermarking #lasercut #charity #firefightesrscharity #fireandrescue #norfolk #stressless #hypnotic
