Resilient Theatres: Resilient Communities

Thanks to the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Pilgrim Trust and Swire Charitable Trust, we are delighted to announce details of our new programme to help theatres in need.

Thanks to money raised by National Lottery players and the other partnerships, the three-year project will focus on supporting communities operating a theatre building, and communities considering taking over a theatre building.

Resilient Theatres: Resilient Communities will have three main strands that will help to boost the sector at this much-needed time.

• A grants programme will fund strategic and organisational development work for three to six theatres a year, targeted at those theatres that need it the most. Details of this fund will be announced in December.
• A new training and knowledge sharing programme, including a cohort training programme for groups working with Theatres at Risk and  series of free webinars open to all theatres will support knowledge sharing and developing expertise across the sector.
• The project will also develop Theatres Trust’s approach to supporting the sector through the procurement of a bank of specialist consultants to boost the Trust’s existing advice-giving service.
