VIVA FIGHTING FUND As many of you will know Viva is a registered charity that has existed for over 22 years to serve our community. We are totally reliant on income from our Charity Shop, ticket sales, membership fees and donations for our survival. We receive no subsidy, and the decision to close our Charity Shop and cease all productions, classes and holiday schools threatens our very existence. We know that times are hard but we are asking that you consider making a small donation to help keep us in existence. We have calculated that we need raise £10,000 to keep us running through the closure period, so every bit you can spare will help us to weather this awful storm. |

COVID-19 - UPDATE - 17 MARCH 2020
As you will be aware the UK Government is issuing advice to limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and here at Viva Arts and Community Group we are taking proactive action to keep the people that we work with safe, which is our number one priority.
Following updated advice from the Government on 16 March 2020 around social distancing and avoiding gatherings and travel, and with the closure of theatres and venues around the UK, we have taken the very sad decision to temporarily cancel all Viva activity, initially until Monday 13th April 2020.
This means that all rehearsals, performances, meetings and events during this period will not take place.
This also means that the performances of ALADDIN and STEPPING OUT will need to be postponed until later in the year. We will advise on these plans as soon as more guidance is available.
If Government guidance suggests that activity can re-commence on Monday 13th April the LION KING WORKSHOP will proceed in April as originally planned and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR will proceed in June as originally planned. However if we feel activity needs to be curtailed for longer, these two events will also be postponed. Again, we will advise on this decision as the picture becomes clearer.
Please be assured that we intend to POSTPONE rather than cancel wherever possible and return to business as usal as soon as we are told it is safe to do so. Please bear with us, this is going to be a difficult time for Viva and we need your support now more than ever.
We have decided to take these steps to protect the wellbeing of all the people we work with, and the wider public in these unprecedented times.
We would like to remind everyone about the importance of thorough hand washing and reducing physical contact. In accordance with Government advice if you or anyone in your household are experiencing any symptoms of coronavirus infection, however mild, you and your entire household should stay at home and not leave your house for 14 days.

We will continue to follow Government advice closely and update this post with any further developments.
