Christmas Appeal

Giving children who need it most a place to belong

During this season of giving, we are asking for your support to ensure that every child has a safe place where they can grow, share stories and explore.

For thousands of children across Norfolk, the world is becoming an increasingly challenging place to grow up. Rising financial pressure, expanding educational gaps, and an unprecedented mental health crisis mean that too many young people are feeling isolated, anxious, and left behind.

Through creative workshops, drama, dance, and music, we give young people a welcoming place to build confidence, overcome feelings of anxiety and isolation

What we can offer

We know that creative experiences are fundamental to a healthy childhood. Taking part in the arts builds resilience, boosts self-esteem, and gives young people the practical and emotional tools they need to thrive

This Christmas, we are asking for your support to provide opportunities for children and young people to get creative and have a place to connect and belong.

We will do this by:

  • Supporting creative learning in schools, helping children build confidence, communication, and emotional resilience through drama and storytelling.
  • Delivering creative workshops, school and holiday programmes where children and young people can explore their creativity through music, drama and dance.
  • Offering pay what you can activities and reduced-price or free tickets to make sure cost is not an obstacle to taking part.
  • Working with schools and charity partners to reach the children, young people and families who face the most barriers to accessing creative experiences.
