“The community play demonstrates the key ingredients needed to stimulate community values, creativity and entrepreneurialism in terms of the skills and personal qualities needed and the sorts of contexts most likely to respond.”
Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR) Report, Enterprise Promotion Fund
On average, our community plays connect 3000 people from one locality as audience members and engage a further 800 as volunteers and participants.
Claque is a registered charity and currently our projects are only made possible by funds from the Arts Council, Heritage Lottery Fund, trusts, foundations and the generosity of individual supporters. Recent public spending cuts mean that traditional sources of funding are being challenged.
We need your support whilst we find new forms of investment in our work. Whether it’s on a one-off project basis or by giving to Claque directly, every donation will help to ensure the future of community plays that enrich and transform people’s lives.
Individual Givers
Claque runs a membership scheme called Claquers. By joining the scheme for a small monthly subscription, you will be invited to the very heart of the plays contributing as a rehearsed peformer or as an audience member. You can participate in the research and debate the play’s themes as it is being created. Read more and become a Claquer today.
Corporate Sponsors
We have sponsorship opportunities for any business looking to further their products, people or brand. With a community play, you will connect to multiple different networks, create more useful relationships with your customers and contribute to the community in a positive and memorable way. A community play turns your social responsibility objectives into action and offers an abundance of corporate volunteering opportunities.
