Christmas Appeal
Make magic happen this Christmas!
This Christmas we invite you to help share the magic of creativity with older adults across Norfolk. Our Christmas Appeal is raising money to support our Creative Ageing Programme and with your help we can expand our activities that improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, unlock self-expression and create new friendships.
Our ageing communities in Norfolk face multiple challenges including depression and dementia as well as loneliness and growing financial pressures. Creativity can make a real difference. It can be life-changing. Our workshops bring multiple generations together, providing safe and engaging opportunities for people to connect and celebrate their stories.
Our current Creative Ageing programme includes:
Theatre Cares
Bringing together individuals with mild to moderate dementia and their loved ones for participatory music workshops that spark joy, curiosity and new friendships.
Dance
Our inclusive and accessible Ballet and Dance Lab sessions welcome participants of all levels and abilities to experience the joy of movement and self-expression.
Theatre Makers
An opportunity to share, perform, or exhibit stories influenced by lived experiences and the world we live in. Participants don’t have to be a creative or an artist to join in, they just need a willingness to explore a life stage of new beginnings.
Last year, your support was record-breaking, with nearly £25,000 raised to support children and families enjoying creative experiences. This year, please give what you can to help us spread the magic even further!
£10 can provide refreshments that help make a participatory workshop more welcoming
£20 can provide free tickets so someone and their loved one can enjoy one of our shows together
£35 can ensure an isolated older person has transport to join activities at the theatre and feel part of a welcoming community
£80 can give someone the opportunity to share their story in a theatre-making programme, celebrating their voice and experiences
£120 can support an accessible movement session, enabling people with limited mobility to take part in creativity and expression
