Help sixTeen reach the communities whose stories deserve to be seen, heard, and remembered.

Thank you to our Big Give supporters for contributing £3,411 getting our fundraising for this project off to a great start.

We are delighted to launch this appeal with a very generous £500  funding pledge from our outgoing Chair of Trustees Sarah Hall – which means the first £500 raised will be matched £1 for £1. With your help we can share sixTeen with audiences more widely later this year/in Spring 27.

About sixTeen

Help us to raise funds to take this urgent, deeply human play on tour directly into working-class communities, so more people can experience theatre that feels real, relevant, and recognisable.

Why This Matters

This is about creating space for working-class voices and stories in theatre, voices that are too often overlooked or unheard.

When you support this campaign, you’re helping to:

• Bring touring theatre to under served communities
• Create opportunities for people to see their own lives reflected on stage
• Spark meaningful conversations rooted in shared history and experience
• Open doors for communities to tell their own stories

The Impact of Your Support

When sixTeen reaches a new audience, something powerful happens.

People recognise themselves.
They remember.
They connect.

And they speak.

What Your Donation Makes Possible

Every contribution helps take sixTeen further. Your support will:

• Fund touring performances in working-class communities
• Remove barriers to access, keeping ticket prices low
• Support artists committed to authentic, community-driven storytelling
• Ensure these stories are not just told, but heard

Whether it’s your first donation or a continued show of support, you are part of making this happen.

"...where I lived at the time you never really heard the stories from either the women’s perspective and certainly not from the children’s perspective, so it’s really interesting to hear that side of it and the way it also created friction within young people’s lives as well you know the impact of it across the family was quite huge really wasn’t it."
