The Boileroom
During my tenure at The Boileroom, I applied for and we were awarded grants from the original COVID-19 relief fund in May 2020, and Cultural Recovery fund Rounds one & two in 2020 and 2021 as well.
The emergency resource support was the final pandemic-specific grant programme from Arts Council England, and enabled the venue to weather the gradual return of audience figures to pre-pandemic levels over the next two years, rises in supplier costs, and supporting live artists performance fees amid rising touring costs too.
