Spotlight on Pay It Forward

Each Christmas, we work with local charities and community organisations to gift free theatre tickets to young people, families and carers who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go.

In 2022, we gifted 750 tickets for our family Christmas show Robin Hood to children, young people and carers in Devon.

We gave away these tickets through our partner organisations Capstone Foster Care, Exeter Community Initiatives, The Helen Foundation, the YMCA, Young Carers and Young Devon.

2019

For Christmas 2019, we were thrilled that Sir Ian McKellen launched our ‘Pay it Forward’ campaign, supported by Salcombe Dairy.

This campaign asked people to donate money so that we could give 1,000 pantomime tickets to families who might not otherwise be able to come. Every £1 donated by the public was matched by Exeter Northcott with the support of our sponsors.

Over 1,500 people donated raising more than £8,000 enabling us to gift 1,000 tickets to our community via local charities.
