I've raised £4000 to support Sam and Aidan running the Southampton Half Marathon for Nuffield Southampton Theatres' Youth Theatre
Organised by Sam Hodges
Story
Nuffield Southampton Theatres (NST) has two venues in Southampton: NST City and NST Campus. We pride ourselves on producing high quality theatre, whilst acting as a cultural force for good in Southampton.
Cheer on NST's Director Sam and our Director of Programmes Aidan in running the Southampton half marathon on 5th May 2019 to support NST's Youth Theatre.
Contender Aidan Grounds boasts:
When I was 18, I won the school cross country. Ten years of no exercise mean there’s a slim chance Sam will beat me.
The rebuttal from Sam Hodges:
Aidan is much younger than me, even though I know I look really young. So he’s got no excuse not to beat me.
If you would like to support a particular runner, why not add TEAM SAM or TEAM AIDAN to your donation comment! (Not that they're feeling competitive, or anything.)
NST's Drama Club and Youth Theatre welcomes young people aged 5-21 to enhance their skills through theatre. Our YT members not only learn about performing, but also technical behind-the-scenes skills, communication, teamwork and relationship building.
Support our runners to help NST reach out into different regions of Southampton and ensure we bring the benefits of our Youth Theatre to young people from all areas and backgrounds, so no young people miss out on the experience.
“NST has been a hugely happy and important part of [our daughter's] life in these past few years. It has helped her to grow in confidence and to develop her love of drama and the theatre generally. It's no surprise that's she's off to Uni to study Drama and English. We're so grateful to the whole team there who saw her potential and gave her the opportunities, which have helped her to become the person she is. I really can't tell you how grateful her Dad and I are.”
