Behind the scenes we’ve been doing even more, investing in social good by helping other not-for-profits and supporting community projects that make our city better for us all. At its heart, Opus gives a platform to alternative voices you might not hear elsewhere, encouraging participation, action and social change.

But we’re better with friends on our side, so we’re inviting you to be a pal and get involved with our work.

As a Friend of Opus, you won’t just get that warm glow of doing good and making a difference, or supporting our work to entertain, engage, inspire, showcase talent and empower independent businesses and local charities. You’ll get benefits too, like priority booking, discounts and voting rights, so you can influence how Opus is run and who benefits from the work we do.

We want to make Opus as open to the many communities of Sheffield as we can and we need your help to grow and make ourselves sustainable. If you can’t afford to support what we do financially but you see the value in it, we still want you to join us.

You should become a Friend of Opus because…

• It will help us continue to expand our existing not-for-profit projects running across the city, including Now Then Magazine and the Now Then App, Festival of Debate, Wordlife and more, many of which are offered free of charge to the public.
• You’ll get all kinds of exclusive gifts and discounted entry to our events.
• You’ll have the chance to guide the direction of the company and its projects through Friends meetings and an opportunity to be more involved in decision making at Opus – whether you can support us financially or not.
