Theatre Improvement Scheme with the Wolfson Foundation

Theatres Trust's Theatre Improvement Scheme, in association with the Wolfson Foundation, offers capital funding for theatres with a current focus on improving environmental sustainability. Theatre operators can apply for grants of up to £20,000 towards their building or equipment as part of the scheme. The grants support a range of projects that consider different ways theatre buildings can reduce their environmental impact, from sedum roofs to new windows, building management systems to more efficient water heaters. Since 2017, grants totalling more than £750,000 have been awarded to help 46 theatres across the UK improve their buildings. The Wolfson Foundation renewed its support for the scheme in 2024, with a further £510,000 in total to be awarded over the next three years.
