One donation, twice the impact.
From 18 - 25 March 2025, your donations to Company Three will be doubled, through the Big Give Arts for Impact Campaign.
Many teenagers in 2025 face immense pressure and anxiety in the face of an ever changing world: the cost of living, societal pressures, and concerns about what their future will look like. On top of this, there are increasingly fewer opportunities for creative expression; drama departments are closing in schools due to shrinking budgets, youth centres are disappearing, youth theatres are underfunded, and there are fewer safe spaces for young people them to explore identity, build confidence and engage in social change.
Here at Company Three, we believe teenagers should be listened to and celebrated empower young people through the transformational medium of theatre. We’re a youth theatre company based in Islington, North London and work weekly with a core Company of 95 young people co-devising seven new plays each year led by the ideas of our members. We also work in local schools, creating short films and podcasts, and go on theatre trips and even an annual week long residential. We provide pastoral support, connection and community for local teenagers.
To help us achieve all of this, we’re taking part in The Big Give Arts for Impact 2025, raising funds to ensure that all of our programmes remain free for all of our young people, at a time when 80% of youth theatres charge for their activities (Youth Theatre Census, 2025)... We’re passionate about removing barriers to access to the arts and creating meaningful opportunities for young people to build community and be creative.!
