Congratulations to the volunteers at Shanklin Theatre, who last week learnt the Grade II listed theatre had been awarded a £5,000 grant from the Theatres Trust.
Shanklin Theatre was one of five theatres across the county to benefit from the fifth round of funding. The much-needed cash will go towards repairing brickwork of the fly-tower.
Mhora Samuel, Director of The Theatres Trust said:
“I’m delighted that we are able to help five more theatres with small grants from the Theatres Protection Fund. The support we receive from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation and Judy Craymer MBE towards our Small Grants Scheme is once again making a real difference to these theatres.
“The Trust’s 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.”
