Third round of Culture Recovery Fund announced
The Department for Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) has announced details of the £300m grants element of the third round of the government's investment package.
The third round of the Culture Recovery Fund has £220m in grants to help organisations reopen and return to full capacity. Alongside the grant package, the new funding includes an extra £35m for a Heritage Stimulus Fund, for repair and maintenance works at heritage sites, and a £20m Cultural Asset Fund, for heritage assets at risk of being lost.
In response to the announcement, Theatres Trust Director Jon Morgan says:
Theatres Trust is pleased to see the announcement of the third round of Culture Recovery Funding with the final £300m now confirmed by government. The investment package has been a lifeline for the sector. We understand that applications are due to open shortly and it is essential these additional funds swiftly reach theatres that have been impacted by the delay to step 4, as well as supporting theatres during the rest of the year as they navigate the return to full audiences.
