Jack Reynor, Billy Howle, Zoe Telford and Caryl Churchill are among leading lights of theatre and screen demanding Islington’s Almeida Theatre end its partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies over its “links to human rights violations and war crimes” and in particular, its “direct and ongoing support for illegal settlements” in the occupied Palestinian West Bank.
In the letter published below, 435 theatre and arts professionals, forty of whom have current or historic links to the theatre – including former associate director Ben Harrison, actors Tamara Lawrance, MyAnna Buring and Hayley Carmichael, composer Jocelyn Pook and writer David Farr – say the issue was raised privately with the theatre months ago, but that the theatre failed to act on the information it was given.
The letter details the training, co-funded by Bloomberg, of Israeli municipal officials, “including those governing illegal Israeli settlements such as Modi’in Illit and Mateh Binyamin” which operate through “land theft, home demolitions, and forced displacement of Palestinians” and are war crimes under international law.
Ellora Torchia, who appeared at the Almeida last year, said:
“The Almeida’s lack of accountability shows just how deep the erasure of integrity within arts institutions has run, and whilst this happens, children die, people are displaced, and humanity dissipates”.
TV star Zoe Telford said, “Our voices are needed now to make clear that we will not tolerate links to any company supporting the continuing onslaught of violence in Palestine.”
The letter goes on to say the Almeida, a charity, is failing to follow Charity Commission guidelines by ignoring its own ethical fundraising policy, which states that the theatre does not:
“accept donations from companies or individuals linked to arms or with historic links to war crimes or regimes known or suspected to be in violation of human rights.”
Sean Biggerstaff of Harry Potter fame, and Massive Attack’s Robert del Naja are among those urging the Almeida to end its partnership with Bloomberg and to “seek a viable alternative sponsor”.
The artists say:
“When institutions accept funding from those directly implicated in human rights violations, it legitimises their actions. It normalises the unacceptable.”
The timing, they say, is “more urgent than ever”. Miriam Margolyes, another signatory to the letter, says,
“It seems that every day we are witnessing a genocide in Palestine, in real time and we are doing nothing to end it. All theatres, all institutions have the power to act. We must do better.”

READ THE LETTER IN FULL
To the Artistic and Executive Team at the Almeida Theatre,
We write as artists and cultural workers committed to human rights and social justice. While atrocities amounting to what Amnesty International identifies as the crime of genocide deepen in Gaza, and violence against Palestinians escalates across the West Bank, we seek clarity and accountability over the Almeida’s partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies.
We are not the first to question this partnership. Artists at the Almeida, including some of the signatories to this letter, raised their concerns some months ago – but this has not led to constructive change. In these even more desperate times, we now renew the effort to bring that change about.
The Almeida’s Ethical Policy
The Almeida’s ethical fundraising policy states:
“The Almeida does not solicit or accept donations from companies or individuals linked to arms or with historic links to war crimes or regimes known or suspected to be in violation of human rights.”
We believe this is a principled commitment: it acknowledges the responsibility cultural institutions have in aligning their funding sources with their values and by extension, with the work they produce.
The Almeida is undermining its own policy by receiving donations from Bloomberg Philanthropies — a ‘company’ with ongoing links to human rights violations and war crimes. A company founded and funded by Michael Bloomberg, a defender of those crimes.
The Evidence is Clear, and the Contradiction with the Theatre’s Ethical Policy Undeniable
· Direct and ongoing support for illegal settlements: Bloomberg Philanthropies, in partnership with the Sagol Family, established the Bloomberg-Sagol Centre for City Leadership at Tel Aviv University. This centre provides leadership training to municipal officials, including those governing illegal Israeli settlements such as Modi’in Illit and Mateh Binyamin in the occupied West Bank. These settlements expand through land theft, home demolitions, and forced displacement of Palestinians; a system condemned as apartheid, found illegal by the International Court of Justice in July 2024 and described by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human rights as a war crime.
· Yisrael Gantz, a direct beneficiary: Yisrael Gantz is head of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, the largest network of illegal settlements in the West Bank. A now-deleted PR from Bloomberg Philanthropies shows that he directly benefited from the Bloomberg-Sagol training programme, as one of its first ‘graduates’. With his self-declared aim of ‘integrating Judaea and Samaria (the West Bank) into the State of Israel in all areas’, his leadership actively supports settlement expansion, and thus endorses war crimes.
· Michael Bloomberg’s active public support for military aggression: Michael Bloomberg (founder and principal benefactor) has consistently used his platform and financial influence to justify Israel’s military actions in Gaza. In 2014, he publicly opposed a U.S. flight ban to Israel during its military offensive, demonstrating support for the state’s bombardment of Palestinian civilians. He publicly defended the shelling of a United Nations school, a war crime, resulting in the deaths of children.
The Almeida is Failing to Follow Charity Commission Guidance
The Charity Commission tells charities that they should ‘know what their donor’s business is’. They should assure themselves that the organisations which fund them are appropriate to be involved with. It is clear that in the case of Bloomberg Philanthropies the Almeida can’t assure itself of any such thing. If the theatre regards its ethical policy as a meaningful and necessary commitment, then knowledge of Bloomberg’s activities should stir it to immediate action.
What Should Happen Now
Over many months, artists and cultural workers have been pressing the Almeida for transparency, accountability and change. We now urge the Almeida to end its partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies and seek a viable alternative sponsor. This would uphold the Almeida’s ethical policy and demonstrate that the theatre’s commitment to human rights is unbroken. If the Almeida believes the association with Bloomberg Philanthropies does not violate its ethical standards, it should publicly present detailed, verifiable evidence that directly contradicts the record of Bloomberg’s complicity and the findings of the UN, Amnesty International, and the International Court of Justice regarding human rights violations. The Almeida must explain how this evidence aligns with its policy.
This is not an unreasonable demand. It is a call for integrity. The Almeida is an outstanding institution deserving of continued success — provided it flourishes on a solid foundation of ethical principles.
Why This Matters Now
When institutions accept donations from those directly implicated in human rights violations it legitimises their actions. It normalises the unacceptable. With the global rise of the far right threatening the lives and livelihoods of racialised, marginalised and vulnerable communities everywhere, standing up for international law and human rights has never been more important.
The Almeida’s failure to change course in the face of clear evidence risks contributing to a culture of complicity and complacency; if we do not ethically scrutinise our institutions, we undermine our collective ability to challenge injustice.
The timing of our choices is more urgent than ever.
We ask you to act now.
