At the moment, buildings that are
charities can ask customers to make
a donation of 10% or more on top
of the admission price and then
claim gift aid on the entire of the
entrance price and donation.
If this was extended to theatres
and other arts organisations that
are charities it would mean an
additional £4 donation on top of a
£40 transaction would be worth
£15 to the organisation.
We believe that if the new
government extended Gift Aid to
attendance at charities presenting
arts events it would encourage
philanthropy and support the
bottom line of increasingly hard-
pressed arts organisations.

Honestly, I have high standards, and this Theatre has met every
single challenge we’ve thrown at them. They now have a special
place in our hearts. They have gone the extra mile. Our community
would not be the same without this Theatre. They look after
their community, especially its children and special children.
