Double the Difference with Bridport Arts Centres Match Funded Christmas Campaign
Bridport Arts Centre is calling all supporters to donate towards their Christmas ‘Grow your Tenner’ fundraising campaign. For a limited period every £10 you give to the Arts Centre will be match funded at localgiving.com, meaning £10 becomes £20 – if you gift aid it it the Arts Centre will get a further 25%.
Throughout the year Bridport Arts Centre provides a home for culture and creativity for people in Bridport, Dorset and beyond. As well as a fabulous programme of live performance, exhibitions and film, the learning and outreach programme supports hundreds of children, young people and adults to develop their own creative potential. Each week, every space in the Arts Centre is used for workshops, rehearsals, performances and exhibitions – sometimes up to 20 different sessions or events in a week! All of this activity puts lots of demands on resources which is why they are fundraising to ensure they can continue playing such a key role in the life of the town.
The Christmas appeal will help to support the Arts Centre’s ongoing work – in particular the learning programme. Donations will help keep the youth theatre groups low cost and therefore accessible to all. It will help support lyric writing workshops and the No Limits dance group for people with learning disabilities. It will help us to support emerging artists and to keep Allsop Gallery exhibitions free.
To contribute to the fantastic Local Giving ‘Grow Your Tenner’ simply donate £10 through a special page on their website (http://localgiving.com/charity/bac). The Dorset Community Foundation will match that with another £10. If you tick the Gift Aid box that will add a further 25%. It really will make your generosity go further!
Bridport Arts Centre’s Director Polly Gifford said “There is a limited amount of match funding available so we need to act quickly to make sure we can claim as much as possible for the benefit of the many different people who use the Arts Centre. Remember, the match funding is a maximum of £10 per donation, so if you are able to give more than that, please do it in multiples of £10 to help us bring more match funding to Bridport. Thank you from all of the team here at the Arts Centre“.
