40th Anniversary Appeal


Join us in our 40th Anniversary year to provide first arts experiences for disadvantaged local children, for generations to come
Every year the New Vic works with more than 200 schools, aiming that cost is never a barrier to young people attending, alongside storytelling, drama, puppetry and creative workshops in early years and primary settings. We see, time and again, how these experiences build language, confidence and wellbeing – especially for children who might not otherwise have the chance to step inside a theatre.
To celebrate our 40th Anniversary we have set out to raise £40,000 through our 40th Anniversary Appeal to strengthen and secure our work with children and young people for the years ahead. A great ambition and a very worthwhile cause.
We need your help as we look towards the future.
Help us to continue the great work we do, and ensure that the New Vic is here for generations to come.
Here are some ways you can support us:
• Give a one off donation to help us today
• Sign up to the New Vic Patrons, giving regular monthly gifts at a level that is suitable to you, to support the theatre moving forward
• Support the New Vic Next Stage donor wall, dedicating a tile to you or a loved one, to support the theatre and have a lasting dedication on this bespoke artwork in the New Vic foyer
• Visit our café and book a ticket for one of our upcoming shows
However you decide to support the theatre, please do so today. We have been here for 40 years thanks to the hard work and tenacity of local people, and everything we are today is thanks to your support. But we cannot continue to grow and make change in our communities without your support.
Thank you
