Story

Did you say "cake"?

Yes! I will be baking and giving away a multilayered birthday cake. Think: sprinkles, cream, chocolate, icing, decorations and other heavenly sweet things!

How can I win this cake?

By making a contribution to my fundraiser for Open Theatre. Anyone who contributes at least £5 will be in the running to win this cake. And what is more, if you win you get to decide the flavour and theme for the cake!*

What if I don't win....

First of all... don't be so negative! And secondly, the money you give will help Open Theatre in their work. 

For 30 years, Open Theatre has used nonverbal physical theatre to collaborate with young people with learning disabilities, creating quality theatre, film and outdoor events which reflect and celebrate their unique creativity. We work with over 1500 young people in special schools every single year.

I have had the privilege to work with Open Theatre and meet so many talented and creative young people. I have seen the change this company can make through collaboration and putting the young people at the centre of what we do. I want to celebrate our Birthday by making a positive contribution. Please consider donating to this campaign to support us in working closely with arts organisations to improve and increase the range of opportunities they provide for young people with learning disabilities. This money helps us cover costs of mentors, workshops, apprenticeships, creative enablers and other aspects needed. 

Help us to nurture the next generation of role models for thousands of learning disabled young people in all areas of the arts.

Help us make theatre accessible - for everyone.

*You even get to decide when you would like to claim your prize (as long as it is before July 2020). I can also bake Vegan or gluten-free cakes.
