Travelling Light Theatre Company (UK, 1065012) Browse events

YTD Raised: £795.00

Who are we? We are a Bristol-based theatre company and since 1984 weve gained a fantastic reputation for creating inspiring shows for young audiences.We rely on help from individuals to support the work that we do through buying tickets to see our shows, donations and by volunteering on our projects.  Their support is absolutely invaluable to us.So why should you support us?Our touring shows are the visible part of our work - what isnt in the public eye is the massive amount of participation work going on.  Its this work which needs financial support. Our projects with young people who are disengaged from society, the youth theatre groups that we run and community engagement projects, all need support. For some young people, getting involved in our youth theatre has had a profound effect on their ability to manage their feelings and in particular, anger.  We provide affordable experiences so that no child is excluded because of financial hardship.  As one young person said recently - It’s cheaper so more people can join.If you can support us, please make a donation, no matter how small.Thank you.

Zellweger UK (UK, 1166389) Browse events

YTD Raised: £780.00

Supporting families impacted by Zellweger Spectrum Disorder, and helping to fund much needed medical research for this rare and devastating condition. Zellweger Spectrum Disorder affects approximately 1 in 50,000 children worldwide. As it's so rare specialists in the condition are few and far between, and families can feel cut off. As parents ourselves, some who have sadly already lost their children to ZSD, we know how scared and cut off families can feel. Our aim is to be a source of support both financially by way of small grants, and emotionally. Nobody understand ZSD better than other families on the spectrum. There is currently no affective treatments for ZSD; only management of some of the symptoms. We aim to help towards funding desperately needed medical research in the hope of better diagnostics, effective treatments, and one day, even a cure.
