This page is under construction, pound by pound, but it will give you an idea of the different ways of supporting Forbidden and how to go about them...

1. Making a Donation.
As a registered charity, we not only ensure that your money goes directly to support our artistic and educational aims but, if you are a tax-payer in England or Wales, your donation will be tax-deductible. Moreover, we will receive at least 20% extra from the Inland Revenue. So, for every £1 you donate, Forbidden will receive £1.20! (All you need is to sign a Gift Aid declaration form which we will send you.) If you would like your donation to go specifically to one of our projects eg. Freestyle Performance, just let us know. And if you don't mind us thanking you in our literature, then we shall do that too!

2. Purchasing our Freestyle Scripts
Our Freestyle Performances have been the breeding ground for new ideas, new partnerships and even new shows. Here is where some of our Ensemble members have taken their first steps as writers and directors - a very rare opportunity to grow as theatre practitioners. They are also the only opportunity that we have, as an Ensemble, of being directly in contact with an audience and defining our style. Many of these "experiments" are 10 - 15 minute pieces which have been created just for the Freestyles and have never been used again. The creators of these pieces have now agreed to put them to good use - we are now selling these scripts in order to raise funds for the company.

3.Raise cash for us while you shop - and it won't cost you an extra penny!
If you do any shopping through the Internet, then maybe you could spare a couple of minutes registering at www.easyfundraising.org.uk or use the Amazon button on www.forbidden.org.uk. (If you are interested in theatre, we have a new Forbidden Books page in the About us section of our website.) Easyfundraising is a website with links to almost every internet retailer. They donate a % of your purchase to Forbidden but no one else gives up any money. Have a browse, it's not too good to be true. It makes sense - charitable donations are tax deductible for businesses and also they like encouraging online shopping. Most retailers are listed here, including Telecomm companies, travel agencies, supermarkets… To register: Click on the Register as a User button. Where it says Charity/Organisation, search for Forbidden Theatre Company, or by clicking on the 'f' and scrolling down. Fill in your details etc. Then remember to go through that portal to do your online shopping.
