Another grant success!!!!!

I am thrilled to announce that our latest grant application ‘ Theatre To Go!’ has been successful to the tune of £10,000. It has been awarded by the Youth Capital Fund to purchase mobile staging and lighting equipment for our thriving youth groups.

Anyone who saw our recent youth production of ‘His Dark Materials’ will realise that we have been poor relations when it comes to having use of the stage. As the main group traditionally make all the dosh –they have the monopoly of the stage and the youth group are forced to fit in between shows. Not any more!!

Equipment for our ‘Theatre To Go’ will mean that we can erect our stage and lighting in the hall, school, church, in fact any venue, and not be restricted by the main groups' activities. This will mean that we can increase the frequency of our productions and give those technically minded youngsters more opportunities to design, rig, operate etc. This can only be of benefit to the future of the group as a whole.

I am, yet again, indebted to Jo Easter for her support and also to members of the youth group who endorsed the application. Thank you guys!
