From 22 April to 6 May, your donation to The Grange Festival will be matched pound for pound, directly enabling life-changing creative experiences for young people across Hampshire. Every gift supports initiatives that open doors to the arts, inspiring children and young adults who might otherwise never experience them.

Your generosity funds dynamic creative workshops in local schools, where our skilled artists work alongside teachers to foster imagination, deepen learning, and build essential skills such as confidence, teamwork, and communication. Donations also make possible vibrant community events like our annual Family Open Day, a welcoming day of interactive creative activities, behind-the-scenes exploration, and live music in a relaxed and inclusive environment.

Additionally, your matched donation allows hundreds of young people to experience extraordinary performances first-hand, such as our upcoming schools concert with the world-renowned Concertgebouw Orchestra. Selected students from Barton Peveril College will even have the rare chance to rehearse and perform alongside these professional musicians, an opportunity that can shape young lives forever.

Last year our matched funding campaign through The Big Give helped our Learning programme reach 2000 young people in Hampshire. Your support today ensures that young people, irrespective of their backgrounds, can access the transformative power of the arts, creating lasting impacts that reach far beyond the stage.
