Support Us
Your support will inspire & connect rural people, places and communities creatively using Arts as a vehicle for Social Change in West Wales.
The community and the people of Pembrokeshire are at the centre of everything that SPAN does, from participant and audience members who shape our work and the volunteers who give their time to support events, to the local artists we collaborate with and the people who donate to help make the work happen.
As a registered charity we fundraise throughout the year to support our work. The generosity of our supporters enables us to continue to deliver our ambitious and essential work helping break down barriers to accessing arts and culture, celebrating diverse creative voices and improving the wellbeing and connections of our community.
Currently, we receive annual funding from Arts Council Wales as a Portfolio Organisation which contributes about 28% of our annual costs. The remaining 72% of our funds are raised each year through a combination of donations, fundraising, sponsorship and ticket sales.
Your support is vital for sustaining and growing our work and impact.
If you are able, please consider what role you can play with SPAN Arts, we couldn’t do what we do without your support.

Become a SPAN FAN
By giving a regular donation our SPAN Fan’s play an essential role in supporting us to deliver and sustain our programme. Being a SPAN Fan is an easy way to play an active role in supporting our work.
Instead of a standard gold, silver, or bronze membership set-up that you might see with other charities, we have a Donate What You Can model. We do this because it’s in keeping with the spirit of how SPAN works and the values we hold. Every donation is valuable and each person who supports our work is part of making a difference.
The level of donation is determined by you and what you can contribute. As a thank you for your support, all our Fan’s receive a special digital insight into the work we deliver, the creative process, our artists, and the impact your support makes in the community.

Trusts and Foundations
Over our 30 year history SPAN Arts has built excellent relationships with a range of local and national Trusts and Foundations, and they continue to play a critical role in sustaining and developing our work today.
We are ambitious for the arts in Pembrokeshire to inspire & connect rural people, places, and communities creatively. We work with volunteers, artists, performers, and producers to co-create high-quality projects and experiences that enrich lives, tackle social inequality and improve health and wellbeing.
See below some examples of our work with Trusts and Foundations.
Supports SPAN to co-programme high quality and diverse Welsh and bilingual LIVE art across Pembrokeshire.
“Welsh speakers are attracted to attend the events because Welsh compositions and artists are included…An opportunity for everyone to speak and communicate in Welsh so attracting an audience from Welsh speaking areas in eastern Pembrokeshire – an area which can little afford such events but which Span Arts makes possible.”
Supports SPAN to sustain Côr Pawb, our mass community choir, across West Wales, which breaks down barriers and isolation in bringing people of all ages together through song.
“Well I’ve met some good friends and sometimes you don’t see people from one Cor Pawb gathering to the next, but then it’s lovely to see people again and you just pick up when you’ve left off basically and you always feel it’s a safe space.”
Core funding that supports us to co-create our rich programme of engagement and events through funding our Community Producer role.
“If I hadn’t been able to get involved with SPAN’s activity, I honestly don’t think I would have made it through. What it’s brought to my life, with circumstances as they are, is without price – by being involved it can give you a reason to go on and brings you the joy of forming a group of friendships, of doing things.”
