Story

The two of us have worked together at Curve for over 20 years combined, but this must be the most bonkers thing that we have ever agreed to do!

Prior to this challenge, neither of us were runners and never pretended to be. But somehow we both intend to get through the 10k (run, jog, walk) to support our theatre and the valuable work that we do every day for the communities from across the city and county.

We are both passionate about our theatre's mission to ensure the work of Curve is accessible for all. We do this by creatively finding ways to break down and remove the real and perceived barriers for both attendance and engagement.

By making a donation today, you will be supporting our free bursary places which enable young people, aged 5-19 years to attend one of our Curve Youth and Community Company (CYCC) groups .

In a recent survey conducted among participants of Curve’s youth programmes, 87% stated that these activities had a very positive impact on their wellbeing, 81% said that they helped them make friends, and 88% felt that they increased their knowledge and skills.

Therefore, please support us today and share the joy of theatre with the next generation of artists, creators and audiences! Thank you.
