Anyone who knows me will know how passionate I am about young people- regardless of their circumstance or background- being able to access the arts. Access All Areas is a fantastic project that I work as an assistant with that does just that- providing a positive environment where a range of young people in different situations can get involved with theatre. 

It's hard to express the amount of benefits I've seen engaging with theatre give to young people - confidence, communication, developing ideas, social skills, determination, enjoyment- I could list phrases like this for days without really scratching the surface. 

What is important to express is these benefits are something that should be open to every young person, and that's what this fundraising is for- raising money for supported places to Access All Areas, to enable more young people who otherwise might not have the chance to be involved with theatre or making art to come and be involved at York Theatre Royal.
