Funded by the generosity of supporters throughout the year, the appeal aims to share the magic of live theatre with individuals and families who may not otherwise have the opportunity to attend. Local groups and organisations serving those in need are encouraged to apply.
Last year, over 300 tickets were donated to the community. Thanks to incredible support throughout the year, enough funds have already been raised to exceed this figure, ensuring even more families can experience Cumbernauld’s festive shows this season.
Sarah Price, CEO, said: ‘For many people in our communities, experiencing the joy of attending Christmas shows is sometimes just out of reach. As a charity, Cumbernauld Theatre has raised funds through our Christmas Appeal 2024 that will give a gift of a ticket to attend either Pinocchio or Special Delivery at Cumbernauld Theatre to those from our community that may need some extra support this Christmas. The excitement and joy we witness when audiences join us for some festive fun at Cumbernauld Theatre is truly heartwarming, and we hope to spread that feeling to many children, young people, and families in our communities this December’
How to Apply Applications are open to local groups and organisations serving individuals and families in need. To submit an application, visit lanternhousearts.org/christmas-appeal. The deadline for applications is 10am on Monday, 16 December 2024. Due to limited availability, not all requests may be fulfilled.
How to Donate Donations to the appeal can also be made via lanternhousearts.org/christmas-appeal or by contacting the box office at 01236 732 887. Every contribution directly supports offering tickets to those who may not otherwise have the chance to attend.
