Performance With Purpose™

Great performances stay with us. Sometimes they also leave us stronger.

Discover the Resources
A Cultural Initiative

Every performance creates a moment.

The arts have always inspired us to see the world differently. A great orchestra can move us to tears. A ballet can remind us what the human body is capable of. A night at the opera can make us feel, briefly, as though anything is possible.

Sometimes those moments also inspire us to care differently — for ourselves, for the people beside us, for the colleagues who make the magic happen night after night.

Performance With Purpose™ brings together carefully selected public resources that audiences, artists, colleagues and families may find helpful — quietly available whenever they are needed. No sign-up. No obligation. Simply useful.

Who It's For

Thoughtful support, wherever you are in the world of performance.

For Audiences

Some of the most valuable things a performance can leave behind are the ones we never expected. These resources are here for you — to explore at your own pace, in your own time, long after the curtain falls.

For Artists & Colleagues

The people who inspire audiences deserve the same thoughtful support behind the scenes. Small improvements in health, resilience and wellbeing help sustain remarkable careers and extraordinary creative lives.

For Families & Communities

The impact of great cultural organisations reaches far beyond the stage. Care does not always end when the curtain falls — these resources extend that generosity into everyday life.

Public Resources

Resources available to everyone.

Carefully selected, freely provided. These are trusted public resources designed to improve capability, confidence and wellbeing — for anyone connected to the world of arts and performance.

Three Resources. Freely Available.

Each initiative has been thoughtfully chosen for the communities that gather around great arts organisations.

For Families

Family Guardians™

Helping families recognise risks earlier and act with greater confidence at the moments that matter most. Because the people we love deserve our most informed attention — and sometimes the most powerful act of care is simply knowing what to look for.

For Everyone

The Sticks and Stones Project

A simple, elegant 60-second Bone Strength Test helping people understand their bone health earlier — before symptoms appear. Designed to be taken anywhere: in the interval, at home, or shared with someone you care about.

For Organisations

Workforce Advantage™

Helping arts organisations build healthier, happier and more capable teams through measurable improvement. Because the sustained excellence of any great institution depends entirely on the sustained wellbeing of the remarkable people within it.

The Sticks and Stones Project

Bone strength is rarely something we think about until we have to. Yet the risks associated with low bone density are quietly significant — particularly for dancers, performers and those who have dedicated their bodies to their craft.

In just 60 seconds, this simple test opens a conversation worth having. Beautifully straightforward. Potentially life-changing.

The Scale of Quiet Impact

Arts organisations reach millions. Small acts of care, made available at the right moment, can quietly change lives.

26M+

Annual Audiences

People attending UK theatres, opera houses and concert halls each year — every one a potential beneficiary.

60s

Time to Complete

The Bone Strength Test takes just one minute — shorter than an interval queue for drinks.
