Theatres Trust, the UK’s national advisory body for theatres, has responded to today’s announcement of the third round of the government’s Culture Recovery Fund. Theatres Trust director Jon Morgan comments:
Theatres Trust is pleased to see that a high number of theatres have been awarded funding through the Culture Recovery Fund. As the theatre sector has been amongst the hardest hit by the pandemic and theatres continue to face difficult times, it is good that many are receiving this additional support, which may be the difference between survival and closure for some. We hope this will help provide the stability that will enable theatres to continue to entertain and serve their local communities.
