The Olibob Arts Foundation is filling a vital gap in arts education funding by working to ensure that access to the performing arts does not become a luxury only for children whose parents can afford it. 

There is plenty of evidence that demonstrates that the performing arts are beneficial to young people in providing them with confidence, resilience and improved communication skills as they prepare for entering the workplace and to participate in society. 

We help young people gain life skills through the performing arts by:

1. Providing grants or bursaries for drama or theatre projects in England and Wales.
2. Providing “Olibob Awards” in recognition of young people aged 13-21 who have demonstrated personal growth from drama or music groups, and shown inclusiveness, kindness, care, and support of others.

Your donations will support projects over the coming years.
