Keep Creating Gala
Join us on Sunday 16 May at 6pm for a special online celebration, showcasing the talents of our students and alumni in a programme featuring performances and immersive animation, as well as a glimpse into our rehearsal rooms. The virtual Gala will feature appearances from our current students, graduates, and some well-known faces.
The Keep Creating Gala will raise vital funds for Bursaries to support those of our students who are facing financial hardship in the current climate, due to loss of part-time work, and for the Student Centre which supports student health and wellbeing.
More than ever, the world needs stories; Central students are the future storytellers. Help them to realise that future.
If you would like to make a donation towards our Keep Creating Fund, please follow the link below.
Gifts of any size would be greatly appreciated. We thank you in advance for your generosity.
Donations of £500 and above will be acknowledged in our supporters list, and in the Gala programme. Please contact gala@cssd.ac.uk for details of support packages for donations of £2,500 and above.
