Become a C3 Friend.
We work on a regular, long-term basis with our young people, so we need regular, long-term support.
Our C3 Friends support our work with a monthly donation. Every donation is vital to our work, and supports our theatre trips, socials, Turn Up Fund and feeds into the core programme. Your support and advocacy helps us provide spaces for young people to connect in person, improves their experience of C3 and the arts more widely.
By becoming a C3 Friend, you’ll have a direct impact on our work and be closer to the action. You’ll be invited to our appreciation events, have early access booking to our shows, and receive behind-the-scenes updates and news about Company Three’s work.
We’d love you to join us as a C3 Friend. Take a look below for more info on how you can get involved.

“With roots and tendrils touching just about every village, town and city across the country, an investment in C3’s work has remarkable, seemingly infinite impact.”
Why it matters.
Our work is underpinned by our three rules: Be Kind, Be Brave, Be Yourself.
We use these rules, and our approach to care, equity and joy in the rehearsal room, to support the young people we work with to tell the stories they want to on stage. After 7 years working with us, these transition from rules to ways of life for our young people.
‘I remember I thought that my only priority this year is to make sure the youngest have a brilliant next five years like I had, have that character development that I had…. You can see lots of people in this company who just want to do well, have fun, they just want to get places and this environment creates that. It creates a feeling of hope.’ - C3 Member
How your support will help.
All our activity is free for young people to take part in.
That includes full-scale, flagship productions; an annual festival of work co-created by local teenagers; a week-long residential with 50 young people; Exchange projects partnering with and sharing practice with other youth theatre groups; Affinity groups and informal fun; theatre trips; and more.
The C3 Friends fund the activity that makes Company Three a joyful and safe space for our members to connect and make art together. Donations fund theatre trips, social events, and our Turn Up fund, which pays for snacks, taxis and other things which help our young people ‘turn up’ to our work.
Across one year, one C3 Friend’s donations pays for:
Snacks for one week of drama workshops.
One group trip to watch a show at a London venue.
Staff to support one Den Social.
