Help YATI Break Barriers for Islington's Young People
At Young Actors Theatre Islington (YATI), we believe that every young person should have the opportunity to access the transformative power of theatre, regardless of their financial background. That’s why we are excited to introduce our StageDoor programme, which offers fully funded places for young people facing financial barriers.
​
This year YATI is taking part in the BIG GIVE, where if you donate between the 3-10 December your donation will be DOUBLED!
£11 for a child to attend a class at YATI.
£135 for a child to attend for a term.
£405 for a child to attend for a year.
StageDoor
StageDoor is Young Actors Theatre Islington’s flagship program, designed to break down barriers to participation in the performing arts for young people in Islington. It provides fully funded places and financial support for those facing socio-economic challenges, enabling them to access high-quality performing arts education, build confidence, and develop essential life skills.
​
With the StageDoor program, we reach young people who are at risk of exclusion or lack opportunities to thrive. Whether they’re dealing with financial hardship, Special Educational Needs (SEN), or social isolation, StageDoor offers them a safe and inspiring space to explore their creativity.
​Every year, StageDoor empowers young people to unlock their potential, fostering a sense of belonging and providing them with tools for a brighter future. Your support during our Big Give Campaign will help us expand this vital initiative, giving even more young people the chance to step through the stage door and into a world of opportunity.
​
Join us in making a difference. Together, we can transform lives through the power of the arts.
The Funding Gap
StageDoor is a lifeline for young people facing financial barriers, providing free access to transformative performing arts education. However, to continue offering this vital support—and to meet the growing demand—we face a significant funding gap.
​
Each year, we strive to provide fully funded places for as many young people as possible. Yet, the rising costs of delivering high-quality classes, workshops, and performances, coupled with increasing financial pressures on families in our community, mean we urgently need additional support.
​
This year, we need to raise £100,000 to bridge the gap in funding. This will ensure we can continue to deliver our current programs and expand our reach to even more young people in need. Every pound raised will be matched during our Big Give Campaign, doubling the impact of your donation and helping us provide life-changing opportunities to the next generation.
By supporting StageDoor, you’re not just funding classes; you’re funding brighter futures. Let’s fill this gap together and ensure no young person is left behind.
