The Theatres Trust - Small Grants Programme
Created: 21/04/2025
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
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 prioritise improvements to theatre buildings to protect live performance use and remove barriers to participation and attendance. Priority will also be given to projects where the grant is the sole external funder and/or achievable within the total fund awarded. The fund is intended to support:
- Improvements and repairs to building fabric
- Purchase of key plant and machinery
- Purchase of capital items that improve physical access and the audience/participant experience
- Purchase of equipment to improve digital access
Previous awards have been issued to venues to improve access and mobility, and building energy efficiency.
Who can apply?
To be eligible, venues must:
- Be a not-for-profit organisation. This can include local authorities or town and borough councils that own and/or operate a venue, and volunteer-run venues
- Present at least 30 performances of live public performance (theatre, dance, comedy, musicals) each year
- Have a lease with at least five years left to run
- Have the permission of the property owner to do the work required
