Support Polka Theatre

Help us to have a positive impact on the lives of children and safeguard Polka for future generations.

More than ever before, children need creativity in their lives. The pandemic has amplified inequalities and many families are experiencing financial hardship, emotional distress and isolation. With your help, we can reach those most in need and ensure that cost or ability is never a barrier to having fun at Polka. Our work has a positive impact on children’s achievements in school, improves wellbeing, and changes lives.
