Theatres Trust – Deadline: 10th February 2023
Resilient Theatres: Resilient Communities Grant Programme
The Theatres Trust has launched a new funding programme to support UK theatres at risk of permanent closure and strengthen the theatre sector’s resilience.
The programme aims to achieve progress with the restoration, reopening, or revitalising of at-risk theatres by awarding grants of up to £20,000 towards commissioning expert support.
The type of support that might be funded includes:
• Viability studies and options appraisals,
• Building condition surveys and structural reports,
• Business planning and fundraising strategies,
• Economic impact studies,
• Governance reviews,
• Heritage statements,
• Archival research or collecting people’s memories (oral history collection) or ephemera related to the theatre.
The funding is intended to support the charitable and not-for-profit groups as well as local authorities working with the buildings to acquire the skills and knowledge to push the project forwards.
