What is corporate engagement with Shakespeare North?
An exciting opportunity to engage employees, entertain customers and develop your business.
With creativity and inclusivity at the heart of Shakespeare North, corporate engagement is also a way of supporting local communities to access learning, arts and cultural experiences.
The outreach and engagement projects and activities address a range of challenges and communities. We aim to develop skills and improve mental health and well-being. It’s all about supporting communities to become more sustainable and resilient.
Children and young people, carers, care leavers, disabled people, older people and others benefit from the work carried out.
Shakespeare North is a registered charity. The impact of our programmes, projects and activities are measured through our Social Impact Strategy. In line with your ESG strategy, we can design and deliver a bespoke proposal to meet your needs as an organisation.
Your support is crucial to run ongoing programmes and activities that are inclusive and accessible throughout the year. Your support makes a difference for the community.
