Support RTYDS


How you can help

By supporting RTYDS and Fair Play, you will be helping us realise our mission to bring together theatres, theatre companies, trade unions, and third sector experts alongside mid-career artists across England to identify the cultural and systemic barriers that prevent artists from working class backgrounds from sustaining careers and progressing to leadership.

Our vision is an industry where socio-economic background doesn’t dictate an artists’ artform, destination or career duration. Where working class leaders can thrive and where our theatre sector is robust, socially just, and able to recognise, develop and nurture working class talent.

Whatever your reason for donating today – whether you’re an individual director that has been part of our scheme, you have been inspired by an initiative, or simply that you’ve stumbled on our work and like what we do – your contribution means that we can continue our work, support more artists, and make theatre a more equitable and inspiring industry.

There are many ways you can support us:

– signing up for a regular donation each month (using the widget below)
– giving a major gift
– sending us a good old-fashioned cheque
– you can also support us through your company, Trust or Foundation.

A gift of any size will make a massive difference.
