SPT Charity of the Year
​
As a long-standing member of the local community and a charity ourselves, Shinfield Players Theatre regularly chooses to support other local causes through our 'Charity of the Year' programme. Most years a range of causes are considered by the SPT committee and one is selected to be the recipient of SPT funding including the proceeds of a dedicated ​​Christmas show.
​
​For 2025-6, however, with pressing cost pressures at the theatre including the urgent renovation of parts of the building structure, the upgrade and replacement of the fire alarm system and other essential health and safety requirements, the committee has made the difficult decision to nominate Shinfield Players Theatre as our Charity of the Year. This will allow us to address our potentially existential issues as quickly as possible and return to supporting external causes.
