Please provide an overview of the charity experience using our Give as you Live platform?

“We’ve found the platform an invaluable asset in passive fundraising - empowering charitable people to understand there are other avenues to supporting charitable work other than personal financial payments. Support can come in various forms from making regular donations, to volunteering time, sharing social media content or even from doing your everyday shopping!”

We’ve found regularly reminding our audience of our give as you live link to be beneficial, especially around key events within the calendar year - checkout some of our posts at @artsembracing on all platforms!

What the charity thinks...

Embracing Arts is a theatre company that is dedicated to creating work for children with special educational needs and/or life limiting conditions. We believe that every child should be able to enjoy the magic of theatre and have created a range of theatrical experiences that can be brought to them, wherever they are.

“Making Inclusive Arts Accessible to All” - Embracing Arts

Our interactive, multi-sensory shows (including our annual free festive production through the Christmas for Kids project), parties and workshops are tailored to the unique needs of each audience and use storytelling, song, music and puppetry to entertain, engage and educate. They are delivered by our team of experienced professional actor-facilitators, supported by our fantastic puppets!
