Every year, our schools and community outreach programme ensures that the most disadvantaged children and young people from this region gain access to high quality participatory arts activities – developing their skills as theatre-makers, poets, dancers, writers, artists, critics, audiences and collaborators.

The investment we receive from our supporters enables us to develop new programmes, and to make a difference to the lives of thousands of young people across the North East.

Individual donations

If you would like to make a donation by cheque, please make it out to The Forge, completing the Gift Aid form, and returning it to us with your donation at:

As we are a registered charity, if you are a UK taxpayer, we can make your gift go further by claiming Gift Aid on your donations. This is worth an additional 25p in every pound to us, and will cost you nothing to allow us to claim it.
