The Royal Exchange Theatre has been bringing the world’s most powerful stories to life for 45 years. As a registered charity, we rely on the generous support of individuals, businesses and charitable trusts to make a difference to our work. If you love what we do, why not get involved?
This ambitious and long-term programme sees the theatre take up residency in communities across Greater Manchester, build upon existing partnerships, develop new connections and bring together people, places and artists to cement long-lasting relationships with the communities right outside our doors.
Each year the Exchange will begin a new three-year residency developing close relationships with local partners such as housing associations, libraries, foodbanks and arts organisations to find out what’s happening on the ground in each area. Alongside these initial partnerships we’ll also recruit a group of local ambassadors, people who are passionate about the place they live in and excited by everything that arts and culture have to offer. Together with professional artists and the team at the Royal Exchange we will develop projects, workshops, performances and events that are tailor-made for you and your communities.
There will also be lots of training opportunities, the chance to develop new skills, meet new people and create a festival of arts and culture.

'Communities outside of the city centre really need these opportunities in order to grow, to increase diversity and broader thinking. Please continue this initiative – it is very much appreciated!' Quote from a Tameside resident after our launch of The Den
