This winter, we’re raising funds to give free Panto tickets to 200 children and families in Newham facing hardship, who simply can’t afford a night at the theatre. Your support gives a child the chance to laugh at panto dames, dance in the aisles, and make memories they’ll never forget – because joy shouldn’t have a price tag.  

From TUE 02 - TUE 09 DEC 2025, we took part of The Big Give, the UK’s biggest match-funding campaign. For that week only, every pound donated on our Big Give page was matched by The Childhood Trust, bringing twice as much joy, warmth, and creativity to local children this festive season. We managed to exceed our target and raise over £10,000 thanks to the support of everyone who generously donated.

If you’d like to, you can still support us through our Donation Page.
