Your support shapes creative futures.
Help us to create fairly paid opportunities, provide accessible creative spaces, and continue bringing silly ideas to life.
At the Bureau of Silly Ideas, we believe meaningful change starts with people like you. Whether you give, partner with us, fundraise, or simply share our mission, you become part of a growing community working to protect, educate, and uplift communities across the UK.
Explore the ways you can join our movement below!
Every donation goes directly to creating playful public experiences that bring communities together. We're a not-for-profit, 100% of your gift supports fairly paid artist opportunities, accessible creative spaces in Brixton, and new work that gets people thinking and smiling.
Whether it's £5 or £500, your generosity helps us keep the silly going.
You don't need to be a performer! We need makers, fixers, painters, drivers, photographers, fundraisers, and people who are just good at turning up. Whether you can spare an afternoon or want to get stuck in regularly, there's a place for you at the Bureau. Volunteer with us and help bring silly ideas to life, while meeting brilliant people and having a genuinely good time.
Support our work and look good while doing it!
Sign up yourself, your family or your friends to Club Silly. Support artists and get some of our amazingly diverse merch. We want to keep our rehearsal spaces affordable and continue to provide paid opportunities for artists developing new material and the emerging artists in our community. To do this we need new club members! More community, more fun and more funding. But we don't want to ask for donations with nothing in return! With any purchase you get added to the Club Silly Membership where you get info about discounts, space use, hiring and events! (You can opt out at any time).
By joining as a Friend, you’ll become an extra special Silly member. For just over £2 a month - the same price as a bag of potatoes - you can make a greater number of smiles across the globe!
You’ll receive a Club Silly Mug* and get discounts on Club Silly activities and events.
We create joyful experiences alongside local communities, councils, festivals, heritage sites, grassroots organisations, and businesses. Whether you're a festival programmer looking for a headline act, a council investing in community cohesion, or a business after something genuinely original for your team — we'd love to talk.
We're a not-for-profit, so every collaboration directly supports new public work, fairly paid artist opportunities, and creative spaces in Brixton. Let's make something silly together.
We work regularly with businesses to create unique, bespoke and original partnerships. If you want an original team-building experience for your company, or are a retailer looking to launch a new product or get consumer research/feedback/monitor footfall in creative ways, get in touch with us to discuss how we can deliver your business goals.
