With displaced artists centre stage, we create groundbreaking, heart-thumping theatre that brings people together and makes BIG change possible. Are you in?
2025 is Good Chance's 10th year. What started in a small tent in the muddy fields of the Calais Jungle refugee camp has grown into a global movement of hope and humanity.
Everything we do at Good Chance - whether it's a play on the West End or a kite-flying festival in your local park - is in pursuit of the ongoing question: How do we live together now?

STAGE DOOR 10, 2025
Marking 10 years since Good Chance began in the Calais Jungle
by supporting 10 creatives from refugee backgrounds in paid placements with 10 leading arts organisations across the UK, welcoming a new generation of diverse talent into the industry.
“When I crossed Mediterranean sea from Libya to Italy and stayed in the Jungle for 4 months, I met the wonderful people of Good Chance. They helped me to forget my nightmare and the journey that I had been on there. Since we were in the Calais Jungle, all through to now, Good Chance gave us opportunities to make a difference.”
