The 2024 Theatre’s Trust Annual Report is published.

Go HERE to download a copy. In it you will find several LTG Members listed who have received grants from Theatres Trust and you will see The Little Theatre Guild listed as a Corporate Sponsor at the back of the Report.

The Annual Report provides a financial review of the year and looks at The Theatre’s Trusts achievements and performance in 2023/24 against our three main priorities:

• Advice and planning
• Campaigning
• Grant giving

It is important that you understand the statutory role of The Theatres Trust in case your theatre needs their assistance.
