How We Help:

Since our first show in 1972 WAGS have helped many local and national charities by raising money and awareness of the work that they do. The money has been raised in many creative ways over the years. The Cast raise it during the rehearsals with events such as:

• Cake sales
• Raffles
• Dress up days
• Guess the sweets in the jar

And many other ideas that they come up with from their patrols.

At the theatre the fundraising continues both backstage and front of house, with food sales for the cast and crew and donation buckets for the audience.

History:

We are proud of our contribution to charities over the years. Many of the charities chosen have had personal links with cast members – where a family member, or school friend has needed their support.

Over the last 50 years, WAGS have helped to raise nearly £80,000 for local charities!

The timeline below shows the range of charities we’ve supported and how much money we’ve helped to raise:
