Thank you so much to everybody who donated to our Crowdfunder campaign!
We’ll be in touch with donors by email before the end of January with details about rewards.
We exceeded our target of £10,000 to raise £11,745, and were blown away by all the kind comments of love and support.
Thanks to Plymouth City Council who donated £5000 to the campaign from the City Change Fund.
Big thanks to the our brilliant suppliers and cultural partners across Plymouth who donated rewards: Salcombe Dairy, Summerskills Brewery, Canton Tea, Tolchards, Ocean Studios, Plymouth Gin.
As the cost of living crisis bites, we don’t want people to break the habit of coming to the cinema because it’s something they can no longer afford. There’s no better way to watch a film than to make an event of it and see it on the big screen, with an audience. You won’t be asked any questions if you choose this price point, just choose the Budget Ticket option when you book.
