Scratch Built Productions is a very small but passionate organisation.

We are a tiny team, working hard to bring creative opportunities, theatre and community art projects to our local area.

Unlike many larger organisations, we are not regularly funded. Most of our work is made possible through small commissions and project-based grants, which support specific activities for limited periods of time. While these grants help us deliver amazing projects, they don’t cover the ongoing costs of running the organisation or planning for the future.

This is where community support makes a real difference.

Donations help us:

  • Keep workshops affordable and accessible

  • Develop new creative projects for young people and families

  • Support artists and facilitators to deliver high-quality work

  • Continue building creative opportunities in our community

Even a small regular donation helps us create stability and keep Scratch Built growing.

By supporting us, you become part of the creative community that makes this work possible.
