Connect family tickets to a clear charity contribution
Picturehouse is donating £1 from each eligible Kids’ Club ticket sold from 18 September to 31 December 2026 to UNICEF UK, alongside in-cinema campaign activity.
Published 9/21/2026
The idea
Tie a time-bounded family programme to a simple per-ticket contribution and publish the eligibility and final total clearly.
Evidence
DCM’s campaign announcement confirms the £1-per-ticket mechanic, campaign dates, on-screen introduction, activity materials and selected-site foyer activity.
Operator takeaway
The transferable value is the operating mechanism, not an assumed outcome. Adapt it only with a clear baseline and decision rule.
Try this
Tie a time-bounded family programme to a simple per-ticket contribution and publish the eligibility and final total clearly.
Measure
Eligible tickets, donation accrued, attendance versus baseline, family repeat visits, material take-up and partner feedback.
Watch out for
No £10,000 cap was found in the available announcement, so none is stated here. No results or donation total are yet available, and inclusion does not imply UNICEF endorsement of CIA.
