‘Every Child’ enables businesses and individuals to give a local child the chance to experience the magic of theatre. The campaign centres on the belief that every child should have the opportunity to benefit from early access to the arts, which contributes significantly to childhood development.
Just £10 provides a free visit to the theatre for a child from your community.
In its first year, the scheme funded free tickets for over half of all Lewisham primary schools or 2,300 primary school children to come and see shows at the Albany. We raised funds for additional 1,200 children to come to shows in the next few months – taking our year1 total to £35k!
Young audiences described the shows they saw and their trip to the theatre as ‘brilliant’, ‘amazing’, ‘great’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘better than the chocolate pancakes I had for breakfast!’
Adding your support could see us reach every child in Lewisham, every year!
