Our patron
Naomie Harris OBE announces new bond with Total Insight Theatre
Total Insight Theatre are proud to announce Academy Award, Golden Globe and BAFTA-nominated actress Naomie Harris OBE has been appointed as a Patron of Total Insight Theatre. Globally renowned for her roles in the Oscar-winning Moonlight, as Miss Moneypenny in James Bond, and for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Naomie Harris will be supporting the work the charity does to provide arts and cultural opportunities for children and young people, especially those experiencing disadvantage.
Nazira Amra, Chair of Trustees, says, We are thrilled that Naomie Harris has accepted the position of Patron. We believe that her passion for performing arts combined with commitment to children and young people will be instrumental in helping the charity to raise awareness of the vital work it is doing to positively impact children and young people’s lives through the arts, especially the important digital outreach we have been doing throughout the pandemic.
Founder and Chief Executive Adam Tulloch adds, We are very excited to welcome Naomie to Total Insight Theatre as our Patron. We are looking forward to receiving her valuable support in our endeavours to make the arts more accessible for children and young people, which is a key part of our ethos. Naomie shares so many of the core values emphasised by the charity and she will undoubtedly serve as inspiration to both our team and those we seek to help who have struggles with mental health through to bereavement and many more aspects of life that see them potentially held back in achieving their goals.
Naomie Harris states –
‘I am delighted to undertake the role of Patron for such a fantastic charity. Small arts charities such as Total Insight Theatre are essential to our industry and the way that this specific charity supports the young who may be facing issues such as bereavement through to mental health made me wish to support them as much as I can and ask others to support them as well.’
‘Without Total Insight Theatre,’Naomie continues, ‘so many children and young people would not get the opportunity to engage in the arts. The charity helps make arts and culture accessible to more children and young people and their work truly changes lives for the better through a range of creative programmes, and I am very much looking forward to helping them in their efforts to continue this great work.’
