Ways to Support

For over 40 years, Alibi has been fuelling curious young imaginations with playful creative experiences. As a registered charity, we depend on the generosity of trusts, foundations and supporters like you to keep our work alive. 

Today, we’re a thriving community venue providing space for children, young people and families to play, create, and explore their own creativity. 

With your support, we can continue to: 

• Bring imaginative, enriching and playful experiences to all children, regardless of their background or circumstance 
• Provide space and opportunities for young people to discover their creative voices 
• Offer a warm, welcoming hub where our local community can gather and connect 
• Remove financial barriers through our Pay It Forward scheme, ensuring families who couldn’t otherwise afford it can attend 
• Bring creativity directly into classrooms and schools in our local area

“I wanted to support an important offer in our community – theatre opportunities for children. I know how much it benefits children working together on something creative, nourishing and fun. And I think it’s important to make that opportunity accessible and inclusive so all children have a chance to be seen, heard and celebrated. Please consider making a donation if you can.”

Sponsor a bursary place at one of our Holiday Clubs

The Alibi Bursary Scheme exists so that children in our community can access fun, playful and creative experiences, no matter their background or means.

Through partnerships with local schools and organisations including Exeter Foodbank and Refugee Support Devon, bursary places are allocated to children and young people who otherwise wouldn’t get the opportunity to attend our workshops, events or Holiday Clubs.

Supporting The Alibi Bursary Scheme is a simple, direct way to make an impact on the lives of local children, facilitating access to a variety of creative experiences with professional artists and theatre makers.

Corporate Sponsorship and Volunteering

We’re lucky to call a beautiful old building our home, but with age comes upkeep! If your company offers corporate volunteer days, we’d love to welcome your team to lend a hand. 

From refreshing our spaces with a new lick of paint, to sorting decades’ worth of props, sprucing up the garden, or tackling special projects, there’s always something meaningful to do. 

If you’d like to spend your corporate volunteer day making a real difference, all while supporting a community arts charity that brings creativity, inspiration, and joy to local children and families – get in touch! 

“The small but mighty LSEG team had a fantastic couple of days working with the Alibi team. It was great to roll up our sleeves and see such a visible transformation in that space. Turning a dark, forgotten room into something bright and useful felt really rewarding, and knowing it will help free up space for local businesses and creative projects makes it even better. For us, this wasn’t just a chance to get away from our desks, it was a brilliant reminder of how volunteering can make a tangible difference. It wasn’t just about painting walls—it was about supporting a charity that brings creativity and community together. We’d absolutely encourage others to get involved; whether it’s a few hours or a couple of days, it’s a great way to give back and have fun doing it.” – Paul Manville, LSEG

2026-2027 Venue Sponsor

We are delighted to have DH Psychology as our Venue Sponsor for 2026-2027. DH Psychology offers high quality diagnostic assessments and support for neurodivergent children and adults. Dr Duncan Harris, Consultant Clinical Psychologist, leads the team and is committed to support that helps people who are autistic and/or have ADHD to develop a better understanding of themselves, their strengths and what can help with the challenges they face.

“I am so pleased to be supporting the experiences Alibi offers children and people to embrace their individual playfulness, passions, and imagination. Childhood is such a special period of time where ideas, moments of connection, and fun can be so readily experienced in heightened and powerful ways. Having worked with children as a youth and support worker, and in mental health assessment services, I’ve been continually inspired by children’s ability to access their resilience and creativity when the right setting is created for them to feel safe and engaged. I’ve taken my own children to several Alibi performances over the years and have seen firsthand how the skilled staff and performers create moments for children (and their families) that will be remembered for a lifetime.” – Duncan Harris
