You can donate securely using the form below. If you are a UK taxpayer, please click the Gift Aid option when donating online.
You can also become a regular supporter. Cysylltwch â ni. to find out more about making a regular contribution to our work.
If you’re a business, you could sponsor a project, or even a specific aspect of a project. For example, Legal & General sponsored umbrellas for one of our outdoor shows, keeping vulnerable audiences & performers dry. Your organisation could be responsible for making one of our projects happen!
As a result of Covid and the prolonged shut down of the theatre industry, we need to raise some extra funds to support our work.
During lockdown, we launched a campaign to raise £12,000 through £12 donations in just 12 months – all this to celebrate our 12th birthday as Wales’ leading inclusive theatre company creating accessible performances.
We call this our 12x12x12 campaign.
To our wonderful supporters, all your £12 gifts made before the end of July 2021 will go directly into supporting our Deaf youth theatre members, aged 4-18, to access free, Covid-safe weekly drama sessions in English and BSL for 12 months, pandemic or no!
Gifts will also support the costs of training and supporting our 12 amazing Deaf, disabled and non- disabled volunteers.
Your £12 donations will also enable up to 12 Deaf or disabled freelance performers to work with us in 2021.
Track our progress and see your gift in the thermometer below.
So far we have raised £1,752 towards our £12,000 target! That’s 15% of the total!

Legacies
After you have made provision for your loved ones, leaving a gift in your will can be a fantastic way of continuing to support the work we do, no matter how much you are able to leave. In this way, you’ll be investing in the future of Taking Flight, nurturing emerging D/deaf & disabled creatives & leaving a lasting mark for generations to come. You might consider bequeathing a specific sum or perhaps a percentage of your estate. As a registered charity funded purely on a project by project basis, even £250 or a 1% bequest can make a huge difference.
If you would like to discuss supporting us in any way, please do get in touch.
