We are Go Kids Performing Arts (GKPA), a theatre education-based charity based in Wishaw, North Lanarkshire. For over 10 years, we’ve been giving young people the confidence, creativity, and life skills they need to thrive—on stage and in life.
At GKPA, it’s not just about performing. It’s about building self-esteem, learning to work as a team, and finding a voice. Our students grow in ways that reach far beyond the spotlight.
But now, with more and more local venues closing their doors, we’re facing a serious challenge. There are fewer and fewer places for our young performers to rehearse, create, and share their work with the community.
That’s why we’re launching this fundraiser—to help us create a dedicated performance space right here in Wishaw. A space that’s not just for us, but for the entire community. Somewhere that young people—and other local groups—can come together, tell their stories, and be heard.
This new theatre will be a home for creativity, inclusion, and opportunity. A place where dreams are nurtured, talents are discovered, and the performing arts can truly thrive in North Lanarkshire.
With your support, we can build a stage where future stars will rise—and where our whole community can come together to celebrate them.
Help us make it happen.
