Story
In the UK today, over 4,500 men aged 18-50 take their own lives per year. On average that's 12 per day. We currently seek £15-20k to rehearse a 2 week development to have this ready for a UK stage. Any contribution takes us one step closer to this goal. And in doing so to help just one man. One step at a time. This fund has now closed but you can also donate at https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/andysmanplay?utm_term=Dja583nAD

1 month agoI'm going to update how your money will be spent when we hear from our funding application in October 2025. We know there will be a Jan 25 workshop of at least 2 days, but are waiting to hear about a 2 week development in Apr 2025. I will update next month but in the meantime I have set up the ''Part Two'' fund if you wish to donate more/have friends who wish to donate. It's got £20 in already ...! Link to this is at www.clareprenton.com/contact - Thank you all! Clare

1 month agoWe have raised £928.00 of £2000. The Crowdfunder has now closed (due to me being new at this!) so for the remaining funds I will set up one for £1000+ - we will get there. We are so grateful to each and every person who took time and their hard earned money to support us. We have recently been awarded £3450 from a local fund and so we will be developing this work in January 2025 and we have another application in for a longer, possible 2 week development in Apr 2025. But the bottom line is, this is going to be developed in 2025. So THANK YOU!

2 months agoBowled over by people and their generosity. My Creative Scotland Individuals Fund application for the remaining £29k has been submitted and I find out by Oct 31 if we've been successful. If successful the funds (with yours) will pay for a 2 week development of this new musical for 6 actor-musicians, a producer, composer/MD, sound and lighting techs and me, as director + a stage manager to get it ready for the stage. Demos and photos will be available to share with our 'angels'. In this very harsh climate for everyone creating work - THANK YOU!
