How to support Borders Youth Theatre (BYT)
Support Borders Youth Theatre
All Borders Youth Theatre activities are subsidized with grants, fundraising and volunteers donating their time to keep our projects and workshops affordable for all in the Borders. Without this support the project fees would typically be twice the current amount that the young people are asked to contribute. In addition, Borders Youth Theatre operates a bursary scheme with up to 20% of the participants in our projects having had help with part or all of their fees.

Grant Funding
Borders Youth Theatre activities are run by experienced professionals and organised by volunteer Trustees. Performance projects, particularly the intensive production weeks, typically cost thousands of pounds to stage. Borders Youth Theatre works in partnership with LIVE Borders and appreciates their expertise and financial help for specific work across the region. Live Borders grant currently covers over 10% of total annual running costs. For the remainder of funding required applications are made to funders such as charitable trusts and community funds. The successful grant applications are supplemented by personal donations and volunteer-organised fundraising events.
