From 17th – 24th March 2026, the first £8,750 donated to The Rainbow Factory through the Big Give Arts for Impact Challenge will be doubled.

That means:

  • Every £1 becomes £2
  • Every £10 becomes £20
  • And every donation goes twice as far in supporting local young people

This is a powerful opportunity for supporters to maximise their impact and help The Rainbow Factory reach even more children and young people across Northern Ireland.

More Than a Performing Arts School

The Rainbow Factory is more than a performing arts school. It is a creative, safe and inclusive space where young people can:

  • Build confidence and self-esteem
  • Explore drama, dance, music, film and technical production
  • Develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills
  • Find belonging, friendship and support after school
  • Access opportunities they might not otherwise be able to afford

For many families, access to the arts can feel out of reach. Through its programmes, The Rainbow Factory ensures that creative opportunities remain open, accessible and welcoming to all.

Why Your Support Matters

Donations made during the Big Give Arts for Impact Challenge will help:

  • Keep classes free or low-cost for families who need additional support
  • Deliver high-quality creative workshops and performances
  • Maintain a safe and welcoming environment for young people
  • Reach those who traditionally wouldn’t have access to the arts

With match funding available for one week only, supporters are encouraged to mark their calendars now and prepare to give between 17th and 24th March 2026.

Together, we can double the impact, double the opportunity, and ensure even more young people across Northern Ireland have the chance to shine.
