The Theatres for Theatres appeal

Theatres for Theatres is an exciting three-year initiative to raise £4million to help fund two new state-of-the-art operating theatres at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

The theatres will be used to treat children with complex and often life-threatening neurological and craniofacial conditions.

The Appeal was founded by Heather Beckwith and her daughter, Nicola Bearman, whose son, Oscar, is a patient at the hospital.

Theatres for Theatres will bring together individuals and companies from across the theatrical world – theatre owners, producers, actors agents and theatre lovers – in a range of fundraising initiatives:

• Theatre Club – a private membership club for individuals or organisations who would like to support the hospital over the three years of the Appeal. Not only will members have a unique opportunity to become involved in the work of Great Ormond Street Hospital but they will also benefit from a programme of special theatre opportunities in the company of our patrons.
  
  

• Public Performances – shows for all the family in association with theatres across the country. The first performance was put on by Pirates Adventure in May 2008. The next events will be a series of pantomimes supported by the Ambassador Theatre Group and held in December 2008 and January 2009. To be announced soon….

Supporters will have the unique opportunity to take centre stage in this major initiative which will have a widespread impact on the future health of children suffering from complex neurological conditions.
