How Can You Help?
DIY SOS
There is a LOT to do, over a very busy period for Rubber Chicken Theatre. We will be holding several ‘DIY SOS’ style days between now and opening, and would love your help. Coffee and cake provided! Although skills (painters, joiners, electrics etc.) are very welcome, there’s a whole host of things needing done that don’t require any particular skill set:
- Cleaning, hoovering etc
- Painting – lots of painting!
- Transport (we will be moving and clearing HQ and lots of things from our yard)
- Support / Set up – hanging costumes, sorting drapes etc
- Gardening / clearing
If you are able to help in any way, please complete the form as the link below and we’ll be in touch (just in case we have too many of you at the one time!)
Share Your Memories
We’ve seen from all your comments that lots of you have many memories of The Cowane. We’d like to have a display in the building of lots of days gone by – if you have anything you’d like to share (or even better, any photos in The Cowane) you can share them on facebook, or email them to us below.
Getting the building ready for opening as soon as we can is going to take a lot of hands! If you’re able to give your support, we’ve listed all the ways you can help below!
It’s exciting times – we’re so grateful to have you along for the ride!
Adopt a Theatre Seat
(or a risk assessment, a few litres of paint, a light, or a whole host of other things!)
As you can imagine, bringing the building back into full community use will come at a considerable expense – we would love everyone to feel a sense of ownership and belonging at The Cowane, so whether you’re able to donate a few litres of paint, sponsor a bin, or put a plaque on a theatre seat, there’s options for everyone, and any help is gratefully appreciated.
To help with this we’ve set up a CrowdFunder at the link below.
Building Management Knowledge
As we move in to what is a particularly large building, we are keen to hear from any of our parents or supporters who may have knowledge or skills in the following areas:
- IT/Networking and Communications Infrastructure
- Risk Management and Safety Compliance - Legionella, Asbestos, Food Hygeine, HACCP etc.
- Fire & Security & Access Control Systems
- Lift maintenance
Just drop us an e-mail with using the button below and let us know how you can help!
Spread The Word
We would like to share our excitement with all of you, and beyond as we grow. If you know of any groups looking to hire space on an hourly or weekly basis etc, or use the theatre space, or perhaps even looking for a permanent room to run a business. Or if you’re keen to volunteer on a more regular basis once we're up and running just get in touch via the website.
