Story
In the UK today, over 4,500 men aged 18-50 take their own lives per year. On average that's 12 per day. We currently seek £15-20k to rehearse a 2 week development to have this ready for a UK stage. Any contribution takes us one step closer to this goal. And in doing so to help just one man. One step at a time. This fund has now closed but you can also donate at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/andysmanplay?utm_term=Dja583nAD

1 month agoWell we did it. I have been awarded £29,600 from the Creative Scotland Individuals Fund to bring the musical to life and this will pay for a development of the new musical #ANDYSMANCLUBPLAY at Eastgate Theatre Peebles on January 18th - see www.eastgatearts.com for more and also the 2 week development at Heart of Hawick on 21 March 2025. We still need £1000 of the crowdfunder but you can also support further by donating to https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/andysmanplay?utm_term=NBqNZaB3K or coming to these events in 2025. THANK YOU!

4 months agoI'm going to update how your money will be spent when we hear from our funding application in October 2025. We know there will be a Jan 25 workshop of at least 2 days, but are waiting to hear about a 2 week development in Apr 2025. I will update next month but in the meantime I have set up the ''Part Two'' fund if you wish to donate more/have friends who wish to donate. It's got £20 in already ...! Link to this is at www.clareprenton.com/contact - Thank you all! Clare

4 months agoWe have raised £928.00 of £2000. The Crowdfunder has now closed (due to me being new at this!) so for the remaining funds I will set up one for £1000+ - we will get there. We are so grateful to each and every person who took time and their hard earned money to support us. We have recently been awarded £3450 from a local fund and so we will be developing this work in January 2025 and we have another application in for a longer, possible 2 week development in Apr 2025. But the bottom line is, this is going to be developed in 2025. So THANK YOU!
