Donating to Groundlings Theatre Trust

Groundlings Theatre Trust is a registered charity (No 1186929) reliant on the generous support of all who engage with us from attending shows, joining our drama school, hiring out our space for an event, through to making a donation.

A donation helps us to continue to provide opportunities for our community to appreciate and participate in the arts and improve the facilities in the beautiful Grade II* listed building we operate out of the Old Beneficial School.

If you would like to make a donation click on the link below or if would like to speak to us directly, please do contact us on office@groundlings.co.uk

If you are a UK taxpayer, for every £1 you donate the theatre will receive an extra 25 pence from HM Revenue and Customs, at no additional cost to you or your sponsors. This means that a £10 donation will be worth £12.50 and for every £50 gift, we will receive £62.50.

Volunteer

Our volunteers benefit from seeing a huge variety of shows, working with a great team in a beautiful theatre and receiving a unique opportunity to gain experience that may enhance career paths, boost confidence, introduce a new hobby and maybe even just some new friends.

  • Technical: Working with our stage manager to develop and manage the stage lighting, sound and set for each of our productions.

  • Set production and building maintenance: Learn a new skill or put yours to practice with a range of activities across our operation restoring our building.
