Prism’s Big Give is Almost Here!
Prism Charity, which works throughout Cumbria to provide life-changing opportunities for disabled artists, is calling on local people to help support its Big Give fundraiser this March.
From March 18th to 25th, every donation made through Prism’s Big Give link will be doubled, helping us reach our goal of raising £1,000, which will then be matched to become £2,000!
💡 How will your donation help? This funding will support our studio members to experience culturally enriching opportunities like creative visits and research trips.
Our Big Give page will become live next Tuesday at 12pm: donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS0000021RWTYA2

We’ve had an incredible time working with this talented group of young performers, alongside the brilliant The Knotted Project Theatre Company and Tiiva Music , who led these workshops. Together, we explored physical theatre to develop a short piece examining how news cycles affect us—and imagining how we might shape change in the future.
The group also experimented with sound effects and music to enhance atmosphere, pacing, and immersion, adding new dimensions to the performance.
This Friday afternoon, we’ll share this exploratory work-in-progress with the performers' families and friends—wish us luck! Huge congratulations to this creative and dedicated group of emerging performers for their courage and hard work!
