🎭 Can you help Hullabaloo unlock match funding? 🎭

Our friends at Hullabaloo (Darlington Business Club members and champions of children’s theatre!) are hoping to take part in The Big Give’s match funding campaign this December.

But first, they need to raise £1,000 in pledges by 30 August to be eligible.

If successful, every £1 donated in December will be doubled — helping them raise vital funds to ensure more local families can benefit from their magical creative experiences. ✨

🧡 Can you help them reach their goal?
Make a pledge today: bit.ly/HullaPledge

Let’s get behind Hullabaloo and spread a little more joy in our community!
