Happy Days: Bringing Theatre Magic to Over 100 CHildren

We’re thrilled to share news of our first major donation—£2,500—to a charity that’s changing lives across the UK: Happy Days.

This incredible organisation supports children aged 3 to 17 who are living with challenges such as learning disabilities, autism, mental or physical health conditions, and the effects of trauma. Many are also young carers, shouldering responsibilities far beyond their years.

How Our Donation Made a Difference

Thanks to your support, our donation funded three live theatre performances of classic storybook tales, reaching a total of 104 children:

• 20 children in Trowbridge (ages 7–10) with autism, ADHD, and emotional or mental health needs

• 34 children in Chippenham (ages 8–17) with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and developmental delays

• 50 children in Swindon (ages 7–11) with autism and learning difficulties

  
  

These performances weren’t just a treat—they were transformative. For many of the children, it was their first-ever experience of live theatre. Amid the wonder and excitement, they discovered new stories, new perspectives, and a sense of joy that will stay with them for a long time.

Why It Matters

Children facing complex challenges often miss out on experiences that many of us take for granted. Live theatre helps spark imagination, creativity, empathy, and communication—all while offering moments of pure joy.

A Note from Happy Days

“This funding helped us deliver sensory-rich performing arts experiences that improve children’s social and communication skills—not to mention the sheer fun and excitement! These opportunities promote inclusion and offer activities that are often well beyond reach.”– Ryan Sinclair, Happy Days
