About the People’s Theatre 

The People’s Theatre is a leading amateur theatre in England, one of the oldest and largest in the country. We produce 14 productions per year, attracting over 10,000 people to our building on the Coast Road.

The former cinema building has been our home since the 1960s and has been refurbished several times over the years. Most recently, we added a new studio space on the ground floor of the building, creating a fully accessible performance space with room for up to 100 audience members.

We seek to enlist the help of a professional fundraiser, who is experienced in working with small charities, preferably within the arts sector in the North East.

• Identify and approach potential funders that align with the Theatre’s values and needs; 

• Attend appropriate external networking events in order to develop relationships leading to donations;

• Secure funding by approaching trusts, local businesses and individuals; 

• Undertake any reasonable duties, commensurate with the level of the post.
