Sadly, due to not receiving any pledge from CWaC it is going to be impossible to get close to anything we would need to deliver on this campaign. Therefore we will be closing the campaign down and your pledge will be returned to you. We thank you so much for your support but over £4000 is too big a mountain for us to scale alone. Best wishes. Samantha - Artistic Director

Grant update9 months ago

Sadly Cheshire West and Chester Council has decided not to give us any funding at all towards this project. So I have reverted the crowdfund to a keep what you raise basis. We have only raised 6% so far as we had expected something from the council. But this is not going to be the case. SO bear with me whilst I find other funding avenues. Please continue to share this project with your network groups as we really would like to meet our target that would mean we can improve the stage lighting in the Town Hall. Thanks.

Presentations are staged in the Town Hall's main space using the stage and also a range of our own theatre equipment, including portable lighting and sound speaker. Sound equipment can be borrowed from Neston Players.

As a Registered Charity, Little Actors offers a range of activities and events in the community. To ensure inclusion and access for all, 50% discounts or FREE places are offered for low income families (depending on funding levels available). Little Actors works with an ethos of access for all and improving health and wellbeing through participation in the arts, plus building social cohesion through socially creative environments. As well as enriching the quality of life of the wider community.
