A group of Terrence Higgins Trust fundraisers outside a West End theatre.

For over 40 years, theatres, actors and performers have been at the forefront of the fight against HIV and that remains the same today, raising vital money for charities and people affected by HIV.

We're always looking to partner with theatres, production companies and performers across the country to support both the theatre industry and our work.

Over the past two years, we've raised over £50,000 from regional theatres and West End hit shows like Moulin Rouge, Cabaret and My Son’s A Queer.

If you're interested in supporting people living with HIV, we’d love to hear from you!

Fill in our theatre enquiry form to let us know you want to partner with us, or to ask us anything.

All money raised takes us closer to ending new cases of HIV in the UK by 2030.

My Son’s A Queer audiences raise over £10,000

Rob Madge holding Terrence Higgins Trust collection bucket

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Rob Madge (above) and their incredible West End hit show My Son’s A Queer earlier this year.

'It was a pleasure to work with the team at Terrence Higgins Trust and raise over £10,000 for the charity at the My Son’s A Queer shows,' said Rob.
 
'The charity managed all the bucket collections with the support of the Front of House team at The Ambassadors theatre. At each collection I was honoured to give a short curtain call speech about the charity’s amazing work and the audiences were incredibly generous.
 
'I would encourage other theatres and shows, anywhere in the UK, to get involved and help the charity with their mission to end new cases of HIV in the UK by 2030.'
