Student Support

Two students in a production of Frontline

At Central, we challenge students to be original thinkers, inventive and effective collaborators, and creative entrepreneurs who make a difference. Our graduates make an impact worldwide performing and creating; entertaining & inspiring; working with communities and civic society; and bringing money into the economy through the growing Creative Industries sector.

A gift to Central will help us to nurture our students, enabling them to achieve their full potential.


“The more people that donate, the more opportunities there will be, the more voices heard, the more positive change.  The industry is powerful, but there are important voices that are buried under the rubble of disadvantage. You have the power to lift them up, one donation at a time.”
