Cardboard Citizens creates theatre with, for and about people with lived experience of homelessness, poverty and inequity. The charity has nominated Cath Longman-Jones, Head of Finance and Operations at theatre company, Clean Break (at the time of donating) for the Individual Award. They would like to thank Cath for supporting their Big Give Christmas Challenge campaign in December 2021 and for continuing to engage with Cardboard Citizens’ work as an audience member since then. Cath’s donation of £25 was doubled with match funding and also included Gift Aid, resulting in a gift to Cardboard Citizens that was 2.5 times greater than the original donation. Further to this, Clean Break supported Cardboard Citizens’ Big Give campaign on social media, and another Clean Break employee also donated to the campaign. This nomination underlines the fact that philanthropy is about community, and that peers and fellow culture lovers from across the theatre industry can help build an ecosystem of support, participation and care that benefits everyone.
