This year, we're celebrating the 40th birthday of our wonderful Youth Theatre (CFYT). As a charity, we rely on support from generous people like you to continue providing life-changing opportunities for young people and each year we need to raise £146,000 in donations for CFYT.
In this 40th year, we will:
- Welcome 850+ young people to weekly term-time CFYT sessions, including specialist programmes for Technical Youth Theatre and those with additional needs
- Create tailored experiences for young carers and young unaccompanied refugees
- Offer 180 bursaries to those who need it
- Create exciting performance opportunities
To kick off our fundraising campaign in this special anniversary year, we took part in the Big Give, a match-funding campaign when every donation to CFYT was doubled. We're over the moon to have met our target of £30,000. If you were one of the amazing people that helped make this happen, we want to say a big thank you!
If you missed your chance to donate to the Big Give, don't worry, you can still support CFYT. Click the link below to donate, and sign up to our newsletter or follow us on social media for updates on what our Youth Theatre has been up to.
