The British Theatre Playhouse (BTP) will present its “Art for Charity” Gala show and dinner event on Friday 21st October 2022, in aid of the #Engage Initiative managed by TRCL. 

Be transported into another world – joy, love and connection - and enjoy an evening with “Big Girls Don’t Cry” from London’s West End. The delightful gala event will open with a welcome Queen’s Platinum Jubilee cocktail reception followed by a sit-down dinner and the show, “Big Girls Don't Cry”. Held inside the Grand Ballroom of One Farrer Hotel, this glamourous dinner event for a meaningful cause will be attended by the British High Commissioner, H.E. Kara Owen and by those many of you in Singapore that enjoy a wonderful evening of live entertainment. 

About the charity - #Engage Initiative Fund

We will be raising funds for the TRCL (The Rice Company Limited with IPC status in Singapore) #Engage Initiative which aims to bridge the digital divide that was highlighted during the recent Covid-19 public health crisis. Through a collaboration with the Ministry of Education (MOE) during the difficult times we endured during 2020, TRCL noted three gaps in society: a lack of access to digital devices among certain groups; a lack of digital literacy; a need for wholesome and original creative content.

As such, the #Engage Initiative aims to build a digitally inclusive society through:

  • Developing programmes which allow beneficiaries to experience immersive digital art content to create awareness and interest in the potential and possibilities of digital art technology
  • Developing arts and culture programmes (including online programmes) which allows for digital art engagement, engender creativity, inspire the acquisition of new skills (including digital skills) and art creation content
  • Developing an online arts platform which showcases the creativity and voices of children and youth to the community

Since 2020, the #Engage Initiative has reached out to over 1,350 children and youths across 74 primary and secondary schools in Singapore.
