Our Donations

Our Donations

As a community cinema and a not-for-profit organisation, our objective is to use the surplus from our screenings to donate to local organisations and charities. To date, we have donated over £36,000.

We have been able to donate £3,070 in 2011, £2,200 in 2012, and a further £3,700 in 2103. In addition, we raised £350 as a result of a collection at our November 2013 screening. We were able to donate £2,540 in 2014, and £2,590 in 2015. We donated £4,100 in 2016, £3,850 in 2017, £2,800 in 2018, and £4,150 in 2019.

Due to the Covid-19 closure of The Corn Exchange, we were unable to make donations in 2020 or 2021. However, we were delighted to have been able to hold our special Charity Screening of The Sting in April 2022. As a result, we were able to donate £1,140 to Maggie's Centres, the cancer support charity.

In April 2023, we held a Charity Screening of Local Hero, and were able to donate £1,000 to MND Scotland.

In March 2024, we were able to make donations totalling £2,800. In April we held a Charity Screening of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid, donating £1,000 to Prostate Scotland. This brought our overall total of donations to £36,390.
