Big Red Curtain has always been enthusiastic about helping Charities. Every year we hold an Annual Charity Show, our students choose a Charity each year and our team of teachers volunteer their time for rehearsals without pay, all profits raised are then donated to the year's chosen charity and it gives our students the opportunity to do what they love... Perform!
MNDA Motor Neurone Disease Association
In October 2019 we raised over £400 for MNDA through an afternoon of Drama and Music Performances.
Teenage Cancer Trust
In May 2019 we raised over £150 for the Teenage Cancer Trust through an Afternoon at The Musicals show.
SHOWTIME Charity Ball
The Queens Hotel, Leeds
2017 marked Big Red Curtain's 20th Year in Business and to celebrate this year's Annual Show will be a Charity Ball and Cabaret held in the Queens Ballroom at the Queens Hotel in Leeds on 29th April 2017.
Thank you to everyone who was a part of our 2017 Showtime Charity Ball we raised over £1800!
All Profits were in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Candy Ball
Big Red Curtain have also been asked to perform at Charity Events which they gladly volunteer their time to do, one of our favourite events was the Sweet Charity Candy Ball Fundraiser which were invited to attend multiple years. The event took place at York Racecourse's Ebor Suite, our three musical acts performed throughout the evening along with acts from Britain's Got Talent. Students who volunteered were presented with a free chocolate Goody bag donated by York Chocolate Manufacturer Nestle.
Sweet Charity is the charity for the UK confectionery industry. We care about individuals and their families who contribute to our industry and we are determined to support them in a friendly, professional and practical way when they need help. We help by providing practical, emotional and sometimes financial support to past and present employees from the confectionery industry, and we have been doing so since 1918.
Sweet Charity is now part of Grocery Aid
