CHARITY SUPPORT FOR A CHRISTMAS CAROL

Throughout the run of A Christmas Carol, The Old Vic will be raising money in aid of Feeding Britain, a UK-based charity that works to eliminate hunger across the country.

10,000 Londoners every week access fresh, nutritious food at Feeding Britain's network of 31 food clubs across the city.  

According to Feeding Britain, three quarters of people accessing food clubs are now eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, cooking more at home and experiencing improved wellbeing. 84% feel more connected to their community as a result of accessing a food club. 

8,000 places per year are created for young Londoners at Feeding Britain's network of 20 school holiday clubs, providing nutritious meals and enriching activities to combat ‘holiday hunger'.  

The Old Vic are delighted to support Feeding Britain, particularly at a time of year that poses hardship for many people.

Andrew Forsey, National Director of Feeding Britain said, ‘We owe a huge debt of gratitude to The Old Vic for choosing to support Feeding Britain over the festive season. Their generosity will enable us to continue supporting thousands of Londoners each week, who are struggling to meet their basic living costs, with programmes which simultaneously ease the pressure on their household budgets while improving their access to fresh, nutritious food.' 

At the end of each performance a charity bucket collection (including tap to donate, text to donate and online donations) will be held, giving audiences the opportunity to donate towards the cause.
