The Housing, Communities and Local Government committee has published its report on the future of the high street, High Streets and Town Centres in 2030.

From improving viability and finding access solutions, we have awarded £25k to five small London theatres, Omnibus Theatre, The Big House, Queen's Theatre Hornchurch, Tower Theatre and Soho Theatre.

From installing leading assistive listening and captioning technologies, to offering practical solutions to the challenges historic theatres face providing level access across all floors, we have awarded seven projects grants to improve accessibility.
