…to everyone who donated towards our ‘Save the Tron Panto’ campaign as part of The Big Give Christmas Challenge. We are delighted to inform you that through a combination of Big Give pledges, donations and bucket collections, we raised £19,565.60 towards the appeal, guaranteeing that next year’s panto will go ahead as planned. So many thanks to all of our supporters – we really do appreciate your generosity.
However, the long-term future of this well loved family event is still as risk. With further cuts to government funding on the horizon and corporate sponsorship increasingly more difficult to secure, support from individuals and local trusts has now become essential if we are to continue to offer our heavily subsidised ticket prices and our free schools education pack and workshop programme. The bottom line is that we will need to continue to raise £20,000 every year until alternative funding can be secured and we’ll need your help to do that.
As a relatively small organisation, even if we sold every seat available at productions throughout the year, we would never be able to cover the costs associated with running the building and producing the programme of work that we do. If we are to continue to flourish, we need to develop champions within the community who believe in what we do and who will support it accordingly.
If you are interested in supporting the panto on a more regular basis please contact Dearbhla Murphy on 0141 559 5304 or email dearbhla.murphy@tron.co.uk for more information.
Alternatively why not sign up as a Tron Patron and take advantage of the range of benefits associated with this membership scheme and help the Tron whilst you’re doing it. Full details can be found on our website at www.tron.co.uk or you can pick up a form in the building for more info.
