The UK Theatres Small Grants Scheme aims to fund capital improvements to theatres run by charities and not-for-profit groups that can clearly demonstrate the value this would make to their work with local communities. Grant awards are generally made where they are considered to have the most impact in realising an applicant's capital project.
Grants are to be used for small capital projects that:
o Address urgent building repairs;
o Improve operational viability;
o Introduce environmental improvements; and
o Enhance physical accessibility.

o The extent to which the grant would make a significant difference to promoting the better protection of theatres.
