The Beckenham Theatre Trust was created to advance access to the creative arts for small charities and non-charitable groups and clubs operating in South London and Kent.
The Trust was launched in November 2023 to provide financial support for creative projects that enrich the life of the communities they serve and the individuals who take part.
The Trust is especially keen to support projects that promote access to community arts for: older people, young people, people living with a disability, a mental health condition, people experiencing financial hardship, or experiencing social isolation – with the object of improving and enriching their condition of life through participating in the arts.
The Trust welcomes proposals from any organisations that support their funding priorities. It is particularly keen to support smaller causes for which the sum awarded will make a large impact on a group or community through the use of the Arts, Theatre, Music, Dance and Design. It welcomes approaches from organisations/groups for projects with longevity and legacy but it also welcomes applications for one off projects which make a significant and beneficial impact on the lives of those who take part.
