Corporate support

An association with Oval House Theatre will link your business with one of Britain's foremost theatrical and educational institutions. Renowned for its cutting-edge work and an innovative education programme, Oval is a unique place in London.

Whether you wish to promote you business objectives, entertain clients or offer benefits to staff, Oval House can tailor a package to suit your needs.

There are several ways in which businesses can support us:

Sponsorship

Sponsorship packages can be tailored to suit your plans. From sponsoring a performance to title support for an entire season, we can create a package to fulfil your business objectives and entertaining needs.

Benefits may include an allocation of tickets; additional branding opportunities in the theatre's season brochure, on leaflets, in programmes, PR opportunities and inclusion on the theatre's press releases; opportunities to use the theatre for entertaining and conferencing. The package can be tailored as appropriate to your business needs.

Education and Youth Arts programme

Oval House was founded in the 1930's by Christ Church Oxford with an aim to “alleviate the effects of poverty” and “increase young people's awareness and understanding”. Since the 1960's this policy has been implemented through the social, creative and educational aspects of the participatory and performance arts.

Gifts to our educational programmes can support a range of projects from our permanent youth theatre and dance companies, after school clubs, to our Arts in Eduction programmes in schools.

Business has recognised the benefits of work in the community. The added value to the reputation of the business and the benefits that it can bring to staff are enormous. Oval House's Youth and Education Departments are committed to tackling social problems and can act as a facilitator and partner organisation in a business's Corporate Social Responsibility programme. To discuss ways in which your business can work with us on CSR projects, please contact our Fundraiser.

Corporate donations

Charitable donations from a business are subject to tax relief under the government's Gift Aid scheme as long as they are made as gross donations. As a registered charity, we can also accept payment from charitable trusts and foundations. Stocks or shares could be donated or you can match donations from individual employees to Oval House. For more information on charitable donations, please contact our Fundraiser.

Employees giving

Under the Give As You Earn scheme, employees make donations directly from their salary. This is taken prior to tax thereby decreasing their tax bill. Your company needs to register with the Charity Aid Foundation. We can accept corporate donations that match those of your employees. Making this known to your employees can lead to a doubling in the amount of money that we receive. For further information about corporate donations, please contact our Fundraiser.
