On the 24 May, they’ll skydive from 15,000 feet in support of Shine – our flagship youth outreach programme

In a climate of funding cuts, it’s our participataion work that is most at risk, in particular Shine. Shine provides free weekly theatre in over 12 locations across Nottinghamshire including Aspley, Mansfield, Sherwood, Bilborough, Portland, Sneinton and even QMC where we bring children creative fun on their wards. Through confidence-building workshops and performances, it inspires the next generation and open doors to creative futures.

Sponsored by Skydive Langar, our brave volunteers will be jumping out of a plane from 15,000 feet in support of this work. The intrepid team is made up of staff members from all departments, as well as our Artistic Director Adam Penford and everybody’s favourite panto Dame John Elkington.

‘I think Shine is incredibly important. Being part of the pantomime always brings me closer to families and young people and makes me aware of how important theatre and the arts are to the young people of Nottinghamshire’ John Elkington

‘I work for the Shine appeal and I love seeing what Shine does for the kids. I love the impact it has on people from all leaps of life’ Sophie Jane Corner (FOH/participation)
