Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Jude and I are cycling Coast to Coast - Whitehaven to Whitley Bay, and we're doing the Blenheim Triathlon.  WHY?? I hear you cry - well - here's why....

I (Becky) am Chair of the Board for Pegasus Theatre, Oxford - a fantastic, dynamic theatre providing top quality, professional theatre and theatre training to all children and young people in Oxfordshire.  Pegasus is an amazing place - and has been for the last 50 years.  It runs workshops for children and young people in every aspect of theatre and theatre making; it runs an international theatre festival for young people from around the world (last year bringing a group of young people from Gaza), it supports new and emerging professional theatre companies with a unique mentoring scheme, and it is a venue which programmes top quality, innovative, professional theatre for the people of Oxford.   And it keeps its prices as low as possible, to ensure that all its work is accessible to everyone.  Moreover, Pegasus takes theatre to excluded communinities and brings them to the theatre, demonstrating that theatre and stories are for everyone.

We believe passionately in this dynamic, wonderful theatre.  Like all the arts, and most provision for children and young people at the moment, Pegasus is struggling with reduced funding and cuts to their grants.  So Jude and I are doing the Triathlon (along with 50 others - in celebration of Pegasus's 50th birthday) and cycling across the UK - coast to coast - to raise money.

Even if you don't live in Oxford - a donation to Pegasus, is a donation to support accessible, top quality theatre for all, it's a donation in support of giving all children and young people an understanding of the power of stories and creativity and it's a donation in support of keeping arts in the community alive in the UK.  If you believe that is important too, please make a donation - we hope to make £1000!!

Thank you
