Carlisle Green Room Club
Area: Carlisle
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
To provide a varied programme of Art/Culture/Entertainment to the people of Cumbria but also to allow people to take part at our Theatre in any way they like, whether that be acting, direction, stage management, technical or hospitality duties.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
Carlisle Green Room Club has been an amateur theatre in the city since 1951, and operates on a totally voluntary basis.
We stage 6 plays and a pantomime each year, and in between our own in house performances, take hirings from other theatre groups (where there is availability).
We are keen to recruit new members who wish to take an active role in the club. There are opportunities for performing or directing on stage, helping through stage management and technical work, such as lighting, sound, set building and painting, as well as helping with our wardrobe.
If you are not interested in helping with the production side, perhaps the hospitality side would be of interest. You could help in the Bar, or Front of House by welcoming people, selling programmes and tickets, making and serving tea and coffee or drinks, and showing the audience to their seats.
If this would be too much, why not become a Patron? That way you can keep in touch through our newsletters, and benefit from priority bookings.

Carlisle Key
Area: Carlisle
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Carlisle Key's purpose is to support young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Our aim is to empower these young individuals by providing them with the knowledge, support, and confidence they need to live independently and take an active role in the local community. We achieve this through various services including our Drop-in Service, Supported Accommodation Project, and Counselling Services.
The Drop-in Service, which operates Monday to Friday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, acts as the gateway to all our services, offering a range of prevention and early intervention support. This includes access to housing, homeless advice, housing advice, money management, welfare benefits advice, support with form filling, tenancy advice and advocacy, computer and telephone access, counselling, employability advice and guidance, one-to-one external support, referrals to other agencies, and practical support such as food parcels and clothing.
Our comprehensive approach addresses immediate risks such as rough sleeping, dropping out of education or employment, and health risks, while also tackling long-term issues like lack of opportunities, mental and physical health, and poverty. Through our services, we aim to reduce the life-changing impact of homelessness on young people and help them achieve independence.
