White city theatre project
WCTP has a mission to empower young people in London's disadvantaged communities by realising their potential through high quality, performing arts programmes, delivered by inspirational theatre makers and facilitators.
Achievements
We were thrilled to announce our partnership with White City Theatre Project for our production of 'The Good, The Bad, The Silly'. As part of this collaboration, we invited the children from their youth theatre to join us on stage each night, adding an extra element of excitement to our show. The nine children that joined our cast over the course of the show had a brilliant time and showed true bravery and commitment. It was a pleasure to worm with all of them and to be able to provide a memorable and valuable experience on stage in the role of ‘Prospector’. We encourage you to visit WCTP’s website to learn more about the fantastic work they are doing.
ReportOUT
ReportOUT are a human rights organisation whose mission is to report, inform, and defend, the rights of sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQI+) in every part of the globe. We are fearless, determined, and relentless in our belief that human rights are fundamental to advancing the lives of sexual and gender minorities, who make up some of the most vulnerable people across the globe.
Achievements
DC Richard Head was affiliated with ReportOUT during its production run and we were honoured to promote the brilliant work that ReportOUT is doing to report on and defend the rights of gender and sexual minorities around the world. DC Richard Head was also nominated for a Standing Ovation Award and we are incredibly proud of the amazing creative team we had on this project.
We also had the pleasure of working with ReportOut on a very special project where people from the LGBTQ+ community handed in their own poems, which we put on stage to show the world their voices. Having actors from that community truly transformed the rehearsal room and the performance. Their lived experience brought authenticity to every line, their confidence reshaped timing and rhythm, and their vulnerability created moments that stayed with the audience long after the curtain fell.
KENT MS THERAPY CENTRE
We are here for people after their diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions. Not only do we provide life enhancing therapies such as oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy and physiotherapy and complementary therapies, but we offer a safe space for our members, their carers and families to share experiences. Our building is a purpose-built, bright and welcoming environment which many of our members describe as their ‘second home’. The most powerful part of our Centre is our community and the love shared between those we support and those that support us.
Achievements
The production of "The Good, The Bad, The Silly" had a successful run at the Garlinge Theatre in Kent, proudly marking a milestone as the first vegan theatre in England. We supported the Kent MS Therapy Centre by having donation buckets at every show. We are grateful to our generous audience for their contributions, which provided valuable support to this important cause.
ovacome
Ovacome is the national UK ovarian cancer charity focused on providing support and information to anyone affected by ovarian cancer. This includes people who have either been diagnosed with the disease or think that they might be at risk, as well as their friends and family and healthcare professionals.
charities we have work with
James’ Place
James’ Place saves the lives of men in suicidal crisis. We are a charity offering free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. We stop men dying by suicide. Our professional therapists get quickly to the heart of a man’s suicidal crisis and help him solve it. We are unique because our treatment is proven to work, quick to access and delivered in a safe, friendly, non-clinical environment by trained, professional therapists. We have treated over 4,300 suicidal men since 2018. We help men in suicidal crisis find hope for the future. Read some stories here of men we have helped.
The production of "Let Loose Sid" had a remarkable run at the Barons Court Theatre in London. We proudly partnered with James' Place, an organization that offers free, life-saving treatment to suicidal men. Through our efforts, we were able to donate the money we raised to support Ollie, who is running 12 marathons in 12 months for James' Place. The production also received fantastic reviews, further highlighting its success and impact.
Schools Outreach
School Outreach
We have successfully provided free workshops to schools across Kent, thanks to the collaboration with Wandering Knight, a stage combat company dedicated to making stage combat accessible to everyone. During our production of "The Good, The Bad, The Silly" at the Garlinge Theatre, we reached out to schools such as Laleham Gap, Orchard School, and Bodsham C of E Primary School. Here’s what some of them had to say:
“Wow, we had an absolutely brilliant day with our Year 5s at Garlinge Theatre. Luke and Charlie were amazing with the kids and they were really immersed in the workshop.”
“A million thanks to you, Luke and Cameron, for making some absolutely brilliant memories and giving some of The Orchard pupils the best of experiences.”
Giving Back to Local Performing Arts Schools
During the run of "The Good, The Bad, The Silly" in Kent, we raised funds from a portion of our ticket sales to support Tankerton Dancing Academy, allowing them to put on a variety show for free. We also provided their school a with a free combat workshop with Wandering Knight. We had a lot of fun with their students and they certainly enjoyed learning stage combat slaps!

Community Impact Through Performance
In our first year, Broken Gods Productions produced six theatrical productions.
Through ticket sales and community partnerships, we reinvested income directly back into the communities and charities we worked with.
Funds redistributed through our productions:
£280 donated to James’ Place (suicide prevention charity)
£100 donated to Kent MS Therapy Centre
£120 donated to ReportOUT (LGBTQ+ advocacy and support)
£150 raised for Tankerton Dancing Academy to support their end-of-year show
These contributions were made possible by audiences choosing to support socially engaged theatre and by our commitment to ensuring our work has tangible benefits beyond the stage.
Our Social Impact
Since launching one year ago, Broken Gods Productions has delivered over £10,360 of social value through free creative workshops and professional performance opportunities for young people.
In our first year, we have:
Delivered 9 free workshops
Provided 80+ hours of professional creative training
Worked with over 130 children and young people
Generated £2.37 of social value for every £1 of professional time invested
Our work removes financial barriers to participation in the arts, ensuring young people can access high-quality creative experiences regardless of background.
This impact has been made possible entirely through unpaid professional labour, partnerships, and a commitment to community-first theatre.
