Support us
Pegasus is a registered charity and your support helps us to offer outstanding creative experiences for young people from all backgrounds, nurture exciting new talent and remain inclusive, accessible and affordable for all.
โPegasus Theatre is a vital organ for the people of East Oxford, feeding new blood into the system by giving young people space, opportunity, shelter, nurture and growth. To breathe new life into our post-Covid future, it is not just money we need.ย It is hope. Pegasus, and all small theatres, arts centres, youth clubs and more, all over the country, give wings to hope:ย a voice to speak of hope; skills, confidence, language and ability to make hope.ย We must now back these places, take care of them, build them up again. For our children’s sake. For all our futures.โย
Simon McBurney, Artistic Director, Complicitรฉ & Pegasus Patron
