Cabaret of Celebration: Big Give

Our Big Give Campaign to raise funds for our Cabaret of Celebration project opens on Tuesday 18th March 2025!

Big Give is an online donation platform that will match fund your donations for our project, which means that every pound donated towards our fundraising goal will be matched by the Big Give – you donate £10 and we receive another £10 at no cost to you!

You can make your donations during the one week campaign window, which opens on Tuesday 18th March at midday, and closes on Monday 24th March at midday. Go to the Big Give website to get started!

About the project you will fund: Cabaret of Celebration

Led by people with learning disabilities & autism and their allies, we want to see what has changed for us in the last 30 years. Your donation will help us delve into our archives and produce a multi-media performance looking at where we were then and where we are now!

We are hoping to raise £2,000 which will be match-funded to become £4,000!

If you think you can support us in any way, that would be fantastic. Visit our campaign page to make a donation, and share our social media posts to spread the word!
