“Inventive, entrepreneurial. Bravo.” The Daily Telegraph

GSC receives no core funding from central or local government, which means subsidy and charitable support are essential to our business model.

Each 'main house' season costs £100,000-£160,000. Around 75% of this is met in earned income. GSC only receives a very small proportion of public funding on a project-related basis, which is never guaranteed.

The success of these productions are the catalyst to enable our life-changing community work that reaches some 24,000 people, young and old, across the region. A large part of this work is aimed at improving engagement for socially excluded groups and the least advantaged in our community.

Our corporate supporters are the difference between us being able to realise these artistic ambitions and not.

In return for their vision and generosity they enjoy a close personal relationship with us, a unique platform for client development and access to our loyal audiences.

A relationship with one of Surrey's best-loved arts organisations guarantees:

• an exceptional opportunity to support the local community, its economy and cultural well-being
• distinctive exposure in Guildford and the surrounding area
• a uniquely memorable way to entertain existing/prospective clients, or a great way to reward staff
• access to our engaged audiences, and over 10,000 followers on social media
• ensuring GSC continues creating exciting and challenging theatre for everyone

We understand that all businesses are different, as are their desires to support their community, so we're happy to chat with you to create the right package.
