We'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our raffle with Minstead Trust.

Whether you bought tickets, donated prizes or shared the raffle with friends and family, your support helped raise an incredible £874.51 for Blue Apple Theatre.

Funds raised will help us reduce financial barriers to taking part in our activities, so that more learning disabled, autistic and other neuro disabled people across Hampshire and beyond can enjoy the benefits of inclusive performing arts. Through theatre, dance, singing and film, participants build confidence, creativity, skills and lasting friendships.

The raffle also prompted some wonderful messages of support.

One supporter wrote: “Theatre for all! It's so precious... drama in all its forms and music, dance, art. All of it needs to be there for every single one of us.”
Another said: “Wishing you a good response to your raffle I think Blue Apple are the best!! I have thoroughly enjoyed the productions I have been to.”
Another wrote: “Happy to support Blue Apple for the fantastic work it does.”

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who got involved. Thank you for helping make these opportunities possible.
