80 Years of Doing Things Differently
For eight decades, Mountview has championed talent, widened access, and produced exceptional performers, creatives and production artists. To celebrate and lay the foundations for the next 80 years, help us raise £80,000 for our 80th Birthday Fund.
All donations will fund vital scholarships, emergency grants and student welfare programmes so the next generation can access world-class training and thrive regardless of their financial circumstances.
The Difference Your Support Makes
Every donation, big or small, creates life-changing opportunity, removes barriers, and promotes diversity within the arts.
With the rising cost-of-living and increasing student debt, there has never been a greater need for financial support.
- £80 could help a student regain confidence through a free counselling session
- £800 could help two students struggling with coursework receive learning diagnostic appointments
- £1,800 could help four students facing financial hardship receive emergency grants
- £8,000 could help two low-income students receive scholarships and accept their places with confidence
Watch our campaign video with Mountview President, Dame Judi Dench:
I was trying to come to terms with having to decline my place at Mountview due to finances. I needed a miracle. So, when I was told that I had been chosen for the [scholarship] award … It felt as if I’d been visited by my fairy godmother.
