ACT2 AID

The Journey continues

Having run ACT 2 Drama School for nearly 21 years the dedicated team have always wanted to offer our services to children that don’t get this opportunity and having researched many charities I have found whilst although doing incredible work for people and children all across the globe nobody really goes in and just gives children the opportunity to be children which is what ACT 2 AID aims to do by offering all elements of performing arts to children and young adults globally. 

Following on from the incredible experiences we had in Sri Lanka in 2018 with The Dust Project and the massive learning curve of working for a charity ACT2 Drama is in the early stages of launching our own charity ACT2 AID. As this is a long-complicated process, we

are beginning the journey by volunteering with SOS Children’s Villages International. We took a small team out in 2019 to Italy and are currently fund raising for our next charity trip to Indonesia

ACT2 AID

One Stage At A Time

Our aim 

To offer performing arts workshops for children and young adults. We are taking a small team out next year to SOS Children’s Villages International in Indonesia to run performing arts workshops. We need to raise £4,000 for our materials/ minibus hire and filming equipment. Please note all our flights accommodation and food is paid directly from each team member and the fund

raising is strictly to benefit the children we are working with. We are all volunteers and do not receive any of the monies raised. So far we have hosted charity balls, swam, run, baked, ate donuts and many other fun filled crazy events to raise funds!

How you can help 

 If you are a business or school or even an individual and would like to help you can    donate a prize for our charity fund raiser, sponsor our t shirts and kit, donate materials or allow us to run one of our events on your premises. 

Any donations can be collected from one of our team members.

Where It All Began

What started out as a one night fund raiser for ACT2 AID bloomed into our regular East London comedy club. Not only has the BOOM BOOM helped budding comedians try out new material it has also raised much needed funds for our next overseas trip. When the world starts moving again and we are all in need of smiles and laughter, The BOOM BOOM comedy club will announce our new dates and tickets site. In the meantime if you think you are funny and would like to perform then contact the team at management@act2drama.co.uk 
*The BOOM BOOM Comedy Club is for ages 18+

Calling all Budding Bakers or simply cake lovers join us  May 22nd for the welcome return of The Highams Park Bake off this spring.  

Please fill in an application form to secure your entry.  I’m delighted to say that this year entry has been cut down to just £5 per adult and FREE for under 16s. We are requesting all cakes are donated after judging so we can slice up and sell to the public for our charity fund raiser. The winning cakes will be judged at 1pm and first place will receive our Highams Park star baker 2022 prize. We will have an adult and junior section. Your cakes can be anything from you signature one to a showstopper or tray bake / cupcakes. Please remember to list all ingredients due to allergy and health concerns. Cakes are baked at home not on the premises. We will be serving scones and cucumber sandwiches on the day so please join us in . 

ALL profit will be donated to SOS Children’s Villages International 

In July 2023 ACT 2 Aid will be travelling to SOS INDONESIA with a group of ACT2 Academy students and parents to volunteer and offer performing arts workshops to the children in the camp. This is just one of the many events we will be doing over the next 18months.
