Jimmy's Iced Coffee Kick-Starts the Youth Theatre Accessibility Fund

We are super excited to announce Jimmy's Iced Coffee as the first business to lend its support to the newly launched Youth Theatre Accessibility Fund. As a not-for-profit organisation, BIGLITTLE Theatre School is dedicated to fostering inclusivity and improving access to professional theatre training for students from underprivileged and diverse backgrounds. 

Every week throughout the academic year BIGLITTLE Theatre School provides access to performing arts classes and training for over 400 young people across Bournemouth, Poole, Christchurch and Ringwood. The programme includes weekday creative musical theatre classes for primary school children, the prestigious BIGLTTLE Youth Theatre and professional training for older students looking to pursue a career in the profession.

The Youth Theatre Accessibility Fund aims to raise funds through corporate sponsorship and individual patronage to enable us to meet our target that a minimum of 10% of youth theatre places each year are fully funded for talented young individuals who may otherwise be unable to access such opportunities. This groundbreaking initiative reflects BIGLITTLE Theatre School's commitment to breaking down barriers and creating a thriving, diverse, and inclusive Youth Theatre community.

Jimmy's Iced Coffee, known for its commitment to supporting local communities and fostering positive change, recognises the immense value of providing equal access to the arts. By partnering with BIGLITTLE, Jimmy's Iced Coffee takes a pioneering step in enabling talented young individuals to explore their creative potential.

Nick Waring, Head Of Brand at Jimmy’s Iced Coffee said “At Jimmy’s, we’re big believers in supporting the younger generation and encouraging them to do things that make their hearts sing. We are immensely proud to support the next generation of talent and creativity through our sponsorship of a Youth Theatre place at BIGLITTLE Theatre School. We are excited to see their dreams take centre stage and look forward to supporting their artistic endeavours.”

The collaboration between BIGLITTLE Theatre School and Jimmy's Iced Coffee sets an inspiring example for other businesses and individuals to follow suit and provide life-changing opportunities for young individuals, allowing them to unleash their creativity, gain invaluable skills, and pursue their dreams in the performing arts.

We are immensely grateful to Jimmy's Iced Coffee for their generous support. Their commitment to fostering inclusivity aligns perfectly with the goals of BIGLITTLE Theatre School. Their contribution will enable us to expand our reach and impact even more young lives.
