Through the Scheme, The Theatres Trust has been able to financially assist 32 theatres with their capital projects including these five exceptional venues. We would not be able to do this without the generous donations of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation and Judy Craymer MBE to the Theatres Protection Fund and we continue to be grateful for their support.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The Trust\u2019s Small Grants Scheme helps theatres in need and at risk address urgent building repairs, improve their operational viability, introduce environmental improvements, and enhance physical accessibility.\u00a0 We recommend that all applicants discuss any potential application with the Trust before submission. Trustees of The Theatres Trust will meet in June 2015 to consider further Small Grants Scheme awards. Deadline for Round 7 applications is 5pm Wednesday 27 May 2015.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/us1.campaign-archive1.com\/?u=ffc4da9aa2fd8f0f5f63891b5&amp;id=3b17f742fa\" target=\"_blank\">View the press release from the Theatres Trust<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thestage.co.uk\/news\/2015\/02\/little-angel-peoples-theatre-among-venues-receive-theatres-trust-grants\/\" target=\"_blank\">View an article in \u2018The Stage\u2019 <\/a>about the grants, with images of some of the awarded properties<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatrestrust.org.uk\/grants\" target=\"_blank\">Find out more about the Theatres Trust grants and previous awardees\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?s=theatre\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\">IHBC newsblogs on theatres <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?s=funding\" target=\"_blank\">IHBC newsblogs on funding<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The most recent awards under the Theatres Trust Small Grants Scheme have been announced, with repair, restoration, access and improvement works being funded across the UK, including those to a grade II listed venue in Halifax and a category B &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=9504\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9504","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sector-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9504"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9505,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9504\/revisions\/9505"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9504"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9504"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9504"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
