The Lowry in Salford has launched its annual festive appeal to raise money for the organisation’s work with younger people. 

The appeal this year has been supported by Dame Judi Dench, who has recorded a voice message that will be played in The Lowry while the appeal is ongoing. 

Last year the appeal raised £50,000, which helped fund The Lowry’s work with younger people across Salford.

This year’s appeal has kicked off on Monday November 20, and is set to run through until January. Funds for the appeal will be raised in a few ways, including bucket collections at the end of performances and optional donations when booking tickets.

Jenny Riding, Director of Learning and Engagement said, “We were so grateful to the generosity of our patrons, supporters, customers and staff – especially as we know times are tough for so many people financially at the moment.

“This year’s appeal will again help fund our life-changing programme of creative work with young people, some of whom are living with some of the most complex and challenging circumstances.”  

The Lowry is a registered charity which holds commitment to communities and young people at heart. 

They aim to use their work to help support young people: “These projects will use the power of the arts to nurture mental health and wellbeing, as well as develop confidence, self-esteem, friendships and skills to build brighter futures.

“Every donation made really will make a difference to the lives of children and young people across Salford. Thank you in advance to everyone who supports our annual appeal and helps us change lives this festive season.”
