Story

2025 marks a monumental milestone for Stagetext as we celebrate 25 years of delivering theatre captions and live subtitles for arts and culture across the UK. It's been an incredible journey, and we couldn't have done it without supporters like you.

What started in 2000 has grown into something remarkable. After spending their lives feeling excluded from theatres, museums and galleries, our founders took it into their own hands to make a change.

Today, Stagetext supports over a thousand captioned performances and live subtitled events every year, that's roughly three accessible cultural experiences happening somewhere in the UK every single day. From West End shows to local theatre productions, from comedy nights to serious dramas, we're working behind the scenes to make sure everyone can be part of the audience.

Every pound you donate helps us bring access to your favourite venues, so they can give you the best possible experience. Whether we're buying new tablets for live subtitled tours of museums and galleries, or training new captioners to work on an ever-growing number of theatre and dance shows we simply couldn't do it without you.

Why not consider a special donation, whether it’s a one off gift of £25 to mark our 25 years, or a regular monthly donation from as little as £2.50, every pound helps us continue our vital work.

“On a scale of one to ten, I would give ten for captioning. Having it captioned gives me more insight and more understanding as to what is taking place. I am able to follow the whole scenario from A to Z." Wayne
