Charity and Community

One of TWODS' aims is to put on shows that our members and our audiences want. But did you know that there is a second aim - to support charitable causes?

We support charities in a number of different ways:

• We give tickets for our performances to a number of different charities. Some of these charities use tickets for the people they support, whilst others use them in raffles or other ways to raise money.
• We provide charitable donations from the profits we make on our shows, particularly in memory of members who have passed away.
• In recent years we have had a bucket collection after each performance in aid of a named charity. We were able to donate £3,500 for the Kent Air Ambulance after Half a Sixpence and £2,500 to the Children's Society after Jesus Christ Superstar. Most of these donations come from our patrons, but we do round up the donation from our profits.

The bucket collection charity for Brigadoon will be Compaid, who work with disabled children and adults. We have been working closely with Compaid to generate publicity for our collaboration and you may have seen the article in the Courier on our offer to donate £2 for every ticket sold through Ted where the purchaser mentions Compaid. We will also be promoting Brigadoon by performing some of the songs at their 25th anniversary dinner a couple of weeks before the show.
