Your support today could help a young person to discover their creative power, ignite their imagination and build their self-confidence.

We create inspiring performances and experiences using physical theatre. Enabling better futures for children and young people. 

We put young people at the heart of our work in ways no other organisation does. The work we make and the workshops we run provide rich and often life-changing creative experiences for young people. Experiences that never shy away from tackling the big issues: mental health, science, the world around us. 

Highly Sprung transform the lives of thousands of children and young people, working with more than 5000 every year.  Empowering every child and young person to discover their creative potential and explore their own unique voice through dance, drama and physical theatre.

Life can be very challenging for children and young people. The world is a difficult place, especially when you’re young and trying to understand your place in it.

 

We can help… with your help.

“It is a safe creative place where children and young people are not afraid to shine, find themselves and express themselves. Both my sons and I along with my nursery have benefitted from the awe, inspiration, and magic Highly Sprung spreads.”

Sprung Youth

Sprung Youth provides youth theatre with a difference for ages 6-19 in Coventry. Bursary spaces are available for children and young people in financial difficulty, who would otherwise be unable to access our work. 

We currently have 100 children and young people who we work with every week and, for a great many of them, we are their happy place. Somewhere they come to make friends, to have fun, to discover and learn more about themselves and each other, to grow and build confidence. Somewhere to find their inner me.

Having a safe and supportive space to be ourselves as children helps us thrive long into adulthood. With your support we can reach more young people through our work.

Our young people need access to our activities and programmes now more than ever. Donations to Sprung Youth provide bursary spaces and help ensure the quality of teaching and opportunities we are able to offer.
