Saving CYTO

It might be claimed that CYTO is expensive to run, or doesn't make money ... but that's missing the point. The young people who pass through it, are honestly better people for the experience. I cannot be the only one who is making my way through life and career as a direct result of my history with CYTO. And, theatre being the social/collabrative thing it is, I now get to interact, influence, be influenced, and work with all manner of creative and giving, generous people today. In real terms, the money saved by not having the Croyon Youth Theatre Organisation is nothing compared to the massive amount of positive influence it has had on Croydon - and the wider area - for the best part of five decades. Its importance is paramount, and to lose it would be a savage loss, keenly felt.
