Local Hero partnership, helping children to find their voices.

A new partnership between Miracle TheatreTrust and Andrew Exelby Estate Agents, an independent estate agency in West Cornwall, has shown the immediate impact business support for the arts can have on communities.

The sponsorship provided by Andrew Exelby Estate Agents funded a series of “Finding Your Voice” workshops for 60 children across two Cornish schools, with an offer of a free ticket to Miracle’s touring production of Twelfth Night this summer.

“Traditional advertising tells people about your business. This partnership shows our values in action. When local children get opportunities they wouldn’t otherwise have, that’s the kind of community impact we want to be known for”– Andrew Exelby

• 60 children participated in professional theatre workshops
• 60 free children tickets offered for Twelfth Night
• 2 local schools received fully-funded creative sessions

For Andrew Exelby Estate Agents, the benefits include meaningful brand recognition through purpose-driven action, and alignment with values that resonate with local families. For Miracle Theatre, the initiative expands its mission to make theatre more accessible—reaching new young audiences and continuing to expand access to theatre.

“Our mission is making theatre accessible to more people in their local communities. This partnership exemplifies that perfectly – bringing professional theatre workshops directly to schools in Cornwall meant 60 children could participate regardless of barriers. We’re hugely grateful for Andrew’s support and proud of what we have been able to achieve together.”  Bill Scott, Miracle Theatre
