“A lot of my confidence as a child came from going to Polka. Just being able to see all these magical shows, being able to take part in that myself, it shaped a bit of who I am”
– Annie, a previous Polka participant, aged 17
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.
We’re very grateful for every gift we receive, no matter how small or large. General donations can be directed to where the need is greatest. Or you can donate towards a particular area of our work including projects for disadvantaged children, productions made at Polka, community projects, or the ongoing redevelopment of our much-loved venue. There are lots of ways you can get involved too, from participating in fundraising events, becoming a member, volunteering with us, or making a donation today.
