Exciting crowdfunding campaign update!

58% of crowdfunding campaign target, showing 38 backers and £7,432 pledged.

Big news:

We are over the moon to update you all and announce that we are now 58% of the way to our total project fundraising goal on our SpaceHive crowdfunding campaign thanks to the generosity and support of 38 backers - including Kent County Council. KCC have agreed to pledge a whopping £3,782 from their public health fund to support young people's wellbeing through creativity.

Next steps:

Over the next 70 days we will be reaching out to local businesses that share our passion and ethos for improving the mental well-being of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in South East Kent for their support. Whilst we keep what we raise outside of the KCC pledge, we will not receive funds from them, unless we reach our total target.

How you can help:

They say in life it's 'who you know', not 'what you know' and word of mouth is key! If you haven't already backed our project, but want to see it in action, head to our Crowdfunding page: https://www.spacehive.com/shakespeareswung (where pledges start at a minimum of £2 - and every little helps). If you are already a super supporter, please keep talking about us to your friends and loved ones, share our pledge site and story, so that we can boost the mental well-being of our younger community through theatre and the works of Shakespeare!
