About the charity : Royal Academy of Dramatic Art Royal Academy of Dramatic Art
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art is a founding affiliate of the Conservatoire for Dance and Drama. It was established in 1904 and has a world wide reputation for the quality of its training. RADA has a broad selection policy. It runs an ongoing fundraising appeal to Trusts, Foundations and philanthropic individuals in order to provide awards for those students who need additional financial assistance in order to complete the training on the full time courses. The contact time at RADA is high. Students work in excess of 36 hours per week which precludes their undertaking regular part time employment to supplement their income during term time. Students who are relocating to London for the first time are in a particularly vulnerable financial position as the full student loan does not cover the real costs of living in London. So too are students with a first degree who are ineligible for loans to pay the mandatory student fee or their term time living costs. All donations made to the Student Scholarship/Bursary funds at RADA are allocated to students in genuine financial need. By making a donation to RADA you are supporting the stars of tomorrow, today!

Personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I won't bore you with too much information but I am entering my third and final year on the BA Acting Course at RADA and am looking to cover my shortfall through fundraising and sponsorship. I have been granted the full loan and grant from the government but this is not enough to cover all costs.

My first two years at RADA have been extraordinary, filled with hard work and wonderful opportunities. I have worked on plays as diverse as Romeo and Juliet, Shaw's The Simpleton of the Unexpected IsleDolly West's KitchenThe Importance of Being Ernest, Antigone and the little known (or at least I didn't know it) Spanish Tragedy La Malquerida.

I have spent my time working with incredible tutors and have had the opportunity to talk to a huge variety of proffessionals working on and off the stage including Linda Marlowe, Michael Sheen, Eve Best, Mike Leigh and Alan Rickman (who just popped into a dialect class one day).

Entering the third year my work load will increase considerably and as with last two years, the over 38 hours a week contact time and overnight preparation for the following days makes part-time work virtually impossible during term-time.

So I am looking for kind sponsors to help me continue to enjoy my time at RADA without the stress of outside work and just keeping the stress within my training.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Royal Academy of Dramatic Art will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.


So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
