Spend a Penny

In January 2017 eight theatres received £15,000 each from Theatres Trust Spend a Penny scheme.

The scheme was set up to raise awareness of and provide improvements to toilet facilities for women primarily, but also gender-neutral and unisex toilets.

With thanks

The scheme was financed by the Chairman of Albourne Partners (and former Theatres Trust trustee) Simon Ruddick.
