After much careful thought and with heavy hearts, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to cancel all further Imps performances, effective immediately.

 

We know how deeply this will affect the Imps children, their families, and the many thousands who have supported and been inspired by the team over the decades. Like you, we would love nothing more than to continue without interruption, but we must be honest about the moment we find ourselves in.

 

A recent review of the organisation has brought to light several critical areas that need attention before any future activity could even be considered. These are not easy fixes. They require time, care, and thoughtful reflection. To press on regardless would risk compromising the very standards and values that made The Imps what they are.

 

Roy Pratt MBE devoted more than 50 years to building something extraordinary; a team that stood for courage, discipline, and self-belief. We feel a deep responsibility to protect that legacy. Rather than allow the charity to fade away quietly, we believe it is right to pause, take stock, and explore whether there is a viable and sustainable path forward.

 

We cannot say what the future holds. But we are committed to doing everything we can to honour the remarkable history of The Imps, and to ensure that whatever happens next, Roy’s legacy will continue to shine.

 

Thank you for your understanding and support at this difficult time.

 

The Imps
