During the last two week of October we'd usually be having our annual bucket collections at Theatres across the country. Performers would be making the speech from the stage, front of house teams would be standing by and tens of thousands of theatregoers would be donating. 1/2
We are delighted that through the Noël Coward Foundation, Acting for Others has generously been awarded £50,000. Noël Coward was one of our Founders, and 55 years later, recognising this connection, we are deeply grateful for this support.

Please share and RT. There are many people in the industry that need us, many of which aren't aware that there are theatrical charities here to support. Please help us reach as many people as possibly in the business.
He's up in Edinburgh with his show STRIPPED but made time for us to film what being an A4O Ambassador means to him and the importance of the charity. Thanks Johnny!
