What is the Umbrella Club?
Umbrella Club is run by the Brighton Dome it is a membership club for children/ young people with
life-limiting conditions and their siblings and carers. In February 2014 the Brighton Dome began the process of creating Pippa Smith's
vision of a scheme which ensures that life-limited children and their families and carers
retain access to the arts. Umbrella Club provides free and discounted tickets to Brighton Dome family shows and workshops.
Umbrella Club also streams of selected performances of the theatre shows and provides other 'members only' treats. The clubs aim is to provide these families with access to the arts that they might not be able to get elsewhere because of health reasons restricting the children/families/carers etc.
WHO FUNDS UMBRELLA CLUB?
The pilot project was funded by the American Express Foundation. In Autumn 2014 Umbrella Club was awarded a grant from SPARK’s Life More Ordinary Grant Scheme from the Short Breaks for Disabled Young People fund. Umbrella Club is also supported by The D’Oyly Carte Charitable Trust and Sobell Foundation. In addition, The American Express Foundation has been continuing to help make Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival events more accessible for all. Support is also provided by The Montefiore Hospital, Gatwick Airport and Unlimited Impact.
