Sustainability

Pegasus recognises the urgency of responding to the global challenge of climate change and its social justice implications and is fully committed to embedding sustainable practices across the organisation to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment with the ambition of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2040 or sooner.

We pledge to work collaboratively with other arts organisations and artists locally and nationally to take steps towards a more sustainable future for the sector, and engage and support our staff, partners, audiences, participants and communities to inspire wider change and action for a greener future.

We are proud to be a part of the Green Arts Oxfordshire Network and to support its Green Arts Charter.

We look forward to sharing our actions for a greener Pegasus, from more sustainable productions using The Theatre Green Book’s guidelines to supporting our young participants to engage with environmental issues and be actively involved in working with us to find creative solutions.

We’d love to hear what our audiences think so if you have any comments or ideas on Pegasus’ green journey, please do get in touch with our Artistic Director Georgia Bradley on director@pegasustheatre.org.uk.

Schools touring shows

Pegasus believes that theatre is an essential tool for the safe learning and development of young people. We produce high quality shows for schools touring based on relevant topics and issues that are hard to talk about. We work with local authorities and services to provide essential support for young people, parents, and teachers.

Our past and longest running show was Under My Skin by Ali Taylor for Years 8-9. Commissioned annually by Oxfordshire County Council, it provided vital information about self-harm and mental heath issues, including signposting to local support services.

If you are interested in any of of future schools touring shows, please contact director@pegasustheatre.org.uk.

Work experience

We partner with Oxfordshire schools to offer group work experience placements throughout the year at Pegasus.

Work experience weeks at Pegasus are an opportunity to gain an insight into the various roles required to run a theatre venue.

Each student will gain a high quality experience throughout the week and will contribute to the work in our theatre. You will spend time working on projects across marketing, HR, finance, fundraising, creative learning and front of house. We expect all the young people we host to be flexible, adaptable, have initiative and a real passion for careers in a theatre.

If you are a school who would like to arrange work experience at Pegasus please email participation@pegasustheatre.org.uk.

Unfortunately, we are unable to host young people on an individual basis at present, but if you’re interested in other ways to get involved at Pegasus please get in touch via the email address above.

Safe Places

Pegasus is proud to be a part of the Safe Places National Network.

A Safe Place offers help if someone is anxious, scared or at risk while they are out and about and need support.

The safe places scheme supports people to remain safe and independent in the community. Anyone who feels vulnerable or distressed can easily identify a safe place by the recognisable logo, and seek safety and assistance within.

Users of the scheme can be of any age – Young or elderly, they may have dementia, a learning disability, autism or mental health needs. They may simply be vulnerable at that moment in time – The scheme is for everyone.
