Story
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>I <em></em>am a Trustee of the Board for Pegasus Theatre, Oxford - a fantastic, dynamic theatre providing top quality, professional theatre and theatre training to children and young people in Oxfordshire. Pegasus is an amazing place - and has been for the last 50 years. It runs workshops for children and young people in every aspect of theatre and theatre making; it runs an international theatre festival for young people from around the world (last year bringing a group of young people from Gaza), it supports new and emerging professional theatre companies with a unique mentoring scheme, and it is a venue which programmes top quality, innovative, professional theatre for the people of Oxford. It keeps its prices as low as possible to ensure that all its work is accessible to everyone, and it takes theatre to communities and brings them to the theatre.</p>
<p>Like all the arts, Pegasus is struggling with reduced funding and cuts to their grants. So I - with 50 others, are doing the Blenheim Triathlon (in celebration of Pegasus's 50th birthday) - to raise money.</p>
<p>Even if you don't live in Oxford - a donation to Pegasus, is a donation to support accessible, top quality theatre for all, it's a donation in support of giving all children and young people an understanding of the power of stories and creativity and it's a donation in support of keeping arts in the community alive in the UK. </p>
<p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now ... and a big thank you! Alison</p>
