Trestle Summer of Fundraising

Trestle's Youth Board are raising money to support Trestle Arts Base!

Throughout our Summer of Fundraising we'll be pulling out all the stops with everything from running a literal half marathon to our School of Drama participants undertaking their very own marathon task with our 24 Hours of non-stop Drama all to raise money to support the wonderful groups that use our space every week.

Our mission is to provide creative opportunities for all helping to tackle social isolation, build resilience and confidence, encourage autonomy and engagement in the local community and improve wellbeing. Like many in recent years we have seen huge rises in bills and costs and a decrease in funding opportunities to help us to keep these groups running. We need your help to enable us to keep providing for our community.

In a year we run 90 sessions for adults with multiple needs and 144 sessions for young people aged 4-18. We are focused on creating a creative and safe environment that is informed by the groups and provides opportunities for growth as well as support. Over 85% of community group participants, on check in and check out, state that the session has improved their mood and our School of Drama has been described as inspiring, comforting, fun, welcoming and the one place some of our young people feel comfortable other than their home.

Trestle's Youth Board states that "Trestle is an important part of all of our lives, and Trestle Arts Base is a venue we all love." 

Here's why we think you should you support us:

• Trestle has a longstanding history and lots of experience.

• Supporting bright futures and helping people who need safe community spaces.

• A space where people can come together and create community. 

• It’s unique and there’s nothing else like it in the area
