Donate to our Drama Studio Fit-Out Fund and help create our new
Positive Environment
Child Players ACT is a not-for-profit charity and every donation is tax-deductible!
Every dollar will have a GIANT impact and help us build our dedicated drama studio where children can thrive!
Your donation can go towards:
We Finally Have a Place to Call Home!
For over two decades, Child Players ACT has operated out of community centres and stored our costumes and props in multiple garages. Despite having no permanent home, we have provided a positive environment where children can thrive! Now we recently secured the lease on our very own commercial property where we will operate our own drama studio with our name on the door! You can help us create a dedicated drama studio where all children can thrive, and where we can deliver more programs and help more children develop self-confidence, empathy and life skills through participation in theatre!
The Challenge: Turning an empty space into a positive environment
To open our doors and welcome our students, we need to completely refurbish the property to create a physical positive environment. Child Players is a registered Not-For-Profit charity, so every dollar raised goes towards this Drama Studio Fit-Out Fund and all donations are tax-deductible!
Your contribution will directly fund three critical areas of our studio fit-out
The Transformation: New flooring and fresh interior painting, purple external panels and signage with our name on the door!
Fittings & Furnishings: Tables, chairs, kitchen appliances, and furniture for our reception room and low-sensory quiet room.
Organisation: Storage units, shelving, and storage boxes to house our large collection of props and costumes.
In the event that more funds are raised than required for our drama studio fit-out, all donation will go directly to Child Players ACT scholarship fund to help low-socioeconomic families enrol thier children in our drama programs.
We appreciate everyone’s support - from our current families to our older alumni, and the whole community who want to support the next generation of Canberra’s children. Whether you can chip in $25 or $1,000, your tax-deductible gift directly builds a safer, brighter, and more creative future for Canberra’s youth. Donate today and help us bring our drama studio to life!
From Grey to Great!
Our new space has so much potential. We just need your help to transform it into an amazing, purpose-built drama studio. Your donation will help us turn this dark grey shell into a bright and welcoming physical positive environment (with a touch of purple!) for our children.
