Enable activity to restart Bring communities together Funding will ensure people feel safe participating

Knutsford Musical Theatre Company restarted rehearsals after COVID-19 with 36 new people looking to participate. Microgrant funding supported the weekly Wednesday rehearsals, ensuring upkeep of the rehearsal space to make it a safe environment for over 50 people to use, with the provision of appropriate PPE.

This aided the regular group to restart and ensure members felt safe in the rehearsal setting after over 18 months and two missed productions.

“The Microgrant has enabled us to get back to rehearsing for our next production which is Shrek The Musical, after months of not being able to use the facilities at Wincham Community Centre. The impact on our theatre group has been immense, and has improved everyone’s mental health and wellbeing, as we feel we have got a purpose back and are enjoying being part of a project again, once lockdown started to ease.” - Lead

LEGACY: Feedback from people in the community is really positive, with a huge increase in people wanting to book tickets for May 22 and the licence for the October 2022 production purchased.
