50 for 50

Since 1974, Paines Plough has supported over 500 writers to develop and produce the best new writing across the UK, reaching over 30,000 people each year.

To celebrate the company turning 50 this year, we have launched our #50for50 fundraising campaign.

#50for50 aims to raise £50,000 over the year to enable us to platform, produce and tour ground-breaking new plays, and nurture the next generation of writers.

Anything you can give – however big or small – will help us to continue our mission to support new writing in the UK and beyond.

You can support us by making a donation or buying tickets to one of our shows this year. Or you can get in touch with us to discuss becoming part of our longer term donor circle by email jodie@painesplough.com.


Alternatively, if you would like to donate by text, you can text PAINESPLOUGH to 70450 to donate £5.

To donate an alternative amount between £1 and £20, add the amount after PAINESPLOUGH, i.e. PAINESPLOUGH 20 to donate £20.
