MAST Mayflower Studios is grateful to be a recipient of the Theatre Trust Small Grants Programme
MAST Mayflower Studios will use the grant to fund a sustainability initiative, focused on transforming waste into valuable resources. The project will include upgrading recycling systems, expanding composting, installing a rainwater harvesting system, and creating green spaces on the rooftop and balcony using harvested water and compost. These efforts will help MAST become more eco-friendly and further its commitment to environmental responsibility.
This marks the seventh round of the Small Grants programme, with 20 theatres receiving grants of up to £5,000 each totalling £96,242. The funds help theatres to improve their sustainability, access and viability. This takes the total number of grants awarded through the scheme to 112, a huge milestone for Theatres Trust, which aims to support theatres to become fit for the future and thrive as cultural community hubs.
Jon Morgan, Theatres Trust Director says, “We are delighted that our partnership with The Linbury Trust has been able to support so many theatres with essential projects to enable them to survive and thrive.”
Stuart Hobley, Director of The Linbury Trust says, “We’re delighted to have reached this important milestone, supporting resilience of theatres right across the UK. From work to become more energy efficient, to improving accessibility, these grants are a testament to local theatres and their role at the heart of local life.”
