**The London Small Theatres Grants Scheme is offering awards of up to £5,000 to 
small theatres in London which are undertaking building projects.**

 

The capital funding scheme was set up following the London Assembly investigation
led by Tom Copley AM into the challenges facing the capital’s small theatres and
its July 2013 report _Centre Stage: Supporting small theatres in the capital_.

Priorities include projects that:

 

 * address urgent building repairs
 * improve operational viability
 * introduce environmental improvements
 * enhance physical accessibility

 

The scheme can also be used to help lever in other sources of investment, “particularly
philanthropic support”.
