Thank you to everyone who supported our Big Give campaign.

With your help, we raised over £13,000 through the campaign, unlocking vital match funding to help children and young people find inspiration, creativity and joy in the arts when they need it most. Since the campaign closed, further gifts and Gift Aid have taken the total to over £18,000, which is a wonderful result.

We are also grateful to the donor who provided match funding and believes deeply in this work, helping every pound given to go further. Together, this shared commitment will enhance local children and young people’s connection to their local museum or gallery and access to creative opportunities

Join one of our Turton's guided tours of Basing House and uncover the story of one of Tudor England’s grandest homes. From the powerful Paulet family to the dramatic Civil War siege that left the house in ruins, this is history brought vividly to life.

Explore the atmospheric remains of the Old and New House and hear the stories that shaped the site from an expert guide.

Tours are available during various Sundays throughout summer. Book here: https://www.hampshireculture.org.uk/event/turtons-tour-basing-house

The more we raise, the more children and young people we can support, with opportunities and safe spaces to express themselves, explore their feelings and build confidence - like the ceramics workshops shown here.

If you can, please make a donation today, and make double the difference in the lives of children and young people.
Donations must be made before midday on 15th May to be eligible for match-funding.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to our Children and Young People’s Fund during our match funding campaign so far.

Your generosity is directly funding creative programmes across our venues, that provide safe spaces for children to express themselves, explore their emotions and build self-confidence.

Could you help us to help even more children and young people? We’d love to reach our target and have a little way to go!

By donating what you can before midday on 15th May, your contribution will be doubled, thanks to a very generous supporter of our work.
