In this climate of austerity, it’s difficult to secure public funding for our work. We try to make our programme as accessible as possible to the public at large and yet pay our performers a decent fee. We work hard to ensure that almost all of our events are free and we’re a registered charity with low administration costs. So if you feel like making a donation (no matter how small), just click on the ‘donate’ button to the right.
