Stories transport children beyond the world they live in, sparking their imaginations and igniting their curiosity.
From families experiencing moments of shared joy when watching theatre for the first time to young people finding a safe space to express themselves, creative opportunities can change lives.
Every year, we help thousands of children, young people and families to create, imagine and experience great stories.
We need your help
As a children's charity, we rely on donations to keep providing opportunities to create and imagine for all children and young people, especially those who are the least able to seek them.

Previously friends and supporters have run, cycled, swam, danced and more to raise money for Travelling Light.
We've listed a few ideas in below. Do get in touch if you'd like to discuss organising a fundraising challenge.
1) The birthday fundraiser
It's your birthday and family and friends love to give. How about setting up a simple Facebook birthday fundraiser so family and friends can give to a cause you care about - raise money for Travelling Light.
2) Organise a cake sale at work
Everyone loves cake! Arrange with your place of work to hold a cake sale. Bake yourself or encourage colleagues to chip in. This could be a one-off or regular event depending on how much your colleagues love cake!
3) Organise a socal fundraiser
Why not host a dinner party, film night or other social gathering with guests encouraged to donate or pay the price of a ticket for the event? Maybe a 'Murder Mystery' evening...
4) Take on a challenge
Maybe you've always fancied completing the 3 Peaks Challenge? Or maybe cycling or running are more your thing? Take on a run, swim, cycle or any other personal challenge to raise money for Travelling Light.
