As part of Minerva Arts 10th birthday all of the staff are setting themselves challenges to help raise some money for development of the youth theatre groups. After much deliberation I decided to take on a skills challenge and over the next 10 weeks I will be learning British Sign Language. I think it is a great skill to have and can be a useful tool within youth theatre.
Although it may not be a physically demanding challenge, for me, having the worst memory in history, it is a huge challenge and one I am really looking forward to.
It costs around £15000 a year to run their 8 youth theatre groups. Some of this is generated through fees, funding grants and shows, however they need a little more, to help keep fees low so all groups are accessible for all young people, while keeping performances and experiences at a high quality. I would love to see Minerva Arts carry on for another 10 years, creatively supporting young people throughout Cheshire.
Please help me raise vital funds for Minerva Arts, every little bit donated goes a long way. THANKS
