Summary

Theatres Trust's Small Grants Programme, supported by The Linbury Trust, funds small projects that make a big impact to a theatre’s resilience, sustainability, accessibility or improving the diversity of audiences..

This scheme will provide grants for essential works to enable not-for-profit theatres across the UK to be viable and thrive in the future. It will prioritise improvements to buildings that protect theatre use and remove barriers to participation and attendance.

Eligible projects include small capital works, the installation of key plant and machinery and works which make theatre buildings digital-ready.
