Change a Child's Life

If you want to make a difference to a child's life, you can donate to support us! Thousands of children across Britain are currently missing out on arts projects as their school's budgets are decimated by cuts, and their mental health, their confidence and their futures are being affected, . You can help by buying the parts for a puppet for one child, set design materials for a group, a spotlight to show off their work, or even a script to unlock their creativity. We'll let you know how your support helps a child fulfil their potential and keep you updated with regular updates from your chosen projects. 
​If you would like to give a different amount, you are of course welcome to do so via the link above! Every little bit makes a difference, no matter how small. If you prefer, you can also donate via our JustGiving page.

Buy a puppet for a child - £20

Let a child create something they will treasure forever. You can give them everything they need to create a complex nine-string marionette including a head base, clay, paint, a selection of wools and fabrics, haberdashery, thread (sewing thread and stringing thread) as well as custom-made boxes, puppet parts and hardware. They will learn a huge range of new skills far beyond their expectations and create a puppet that they will be proud to take home as a lasting memory.

Set them up to perform - £50

Bring children together in teams to learn new skills and create set designs to bring their characters to life. You can provide them with specially-built backdrop canvases, paint, custom-made parts for props, and a selection of fabric, clays and paints for the children to build and decorate everything that their show requires. The results are spectacular - many of our sets elicit gasps from the audiences when the curtain goes up!

Light up their lives - £100

"Just like going to watch a professional show at the theatre!"
By buying an LED spotlight, you join internationally-renowned stagebuilders Brilliant Stages in making sure that every child has a stage that allows their hard work to pay off, and inspires them to achieve beyond their wildest dreams. You can invest in the future and provide the next generation with the opportunities to learn the international standard DMX lighting coding used in theatres and venues across the world!

kickstart their creativity - £250

Every child's puppet project journey starts with a script. From there, their imagination can take flight as they create characters and sets around their class' story. You can plant the seeds of creativity for a project and watch them create everything from classics such as Dickens and Shakespeare to contemporary writing and fairy tales from all over the world. You can also expand our offer to schools by helping us find new writers who can bring new stories and new issues for discussion into schools.
