I am cycling a Brompton 150 miles from Bath to London on 12th - 14th September to raise money for Chickenshed.

Chickenshed is an inclusive theatre company that brings together people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to create beautiful, inspiring theatre. It runs weekly children's and youth theatre workshops for over 800 young people, operates three nationally accredited education courses, and engages in community outreach projects across the UK.

I've been involved with the charity for 20 years and have seen first-hand the transformational effect it has on people, especially its younger participants.

Please join me in showing your support for this amazing charity. Big or small, every donation counts.

What your support would achieve

£9 would subsidise a place for a disadvantaged young person for a week.

£21 would give one-to-one specialist support for children with additional needs.

£127 would help provide wheelchair-accessible transport for a young person.

£350 would help offer counselling to students in difficult personal circumstances.

£1,000 would help provide a one-day inclusive performing arts workshop for a school in a deprived area.

£5,000 would help to sponsor a full-time paid trainee for three months, empowering them to mentor younger generations in the inclusive performing arts method and enabling them to take their first steps in employment.

£10,000 would sponsor four disadvantaged young people who may have been excluded from mainstream education to study on one of our inclusive accredited higher education courses.
