Summary

Theatres Trust's Theatre Improvement Scheme, in association with the Wolfson Foundation, offers capital funding for theatres. The theme for the fund for the next three years is Improving Environmental Sustainability as this is an urgent priority for the sector.

This scheme will prioritise capital development projects which improve a theatre building’s environmental sustainability and demonstrate how a small intervention can produce big reductions in environmental impact, such as:

• purchase of key plant and machinery
• replacement of inefficient or out-dated equipment
• improvements to building heating or insulation
• planting sedum roofs or green walls
• impactful, high-quality interventions
