Support Us

While many people know that The Ark is one of Europe’s leading arts venues for children, few realise that it is also a registered charity. Public funding only makes up an average of 60% of our income so we rely on ticket sales, grants and generous donations from companies and individuals to enable us to create inspirational cultural experiences for all children. Below are some of the ways that you could help to support us in our work.
