MEND Fund

An open-access capital fund targeted at non-national Accredited museums and local authorities based in England to apply for funding to undertake vital infrastructure and urgent maintenance backlogs which are beyond the scope of day-to-day maintenance budgets.

Working with colleagues art Warwick District Council,  we successfully submitted and won an a multi-million pound bid to Arts Council England's MEND programme to raise much needed funds to fix the Royal Pump Rooms roof. 

Culture Development Fund

The fund will unlock local growth and productivity, promote economic and social recovery from the impact of Covid-19, and regenerate communities through capital investment in place-based creative and cultural initiatives.

Working with Warwickshire County Council, Warwick District Council, CWLEP, and Complex Projects Development, I pulled together an expression of interest, which proposed a programme of work to accelerate growth of the Leamington Creative Quarter. The programme comprised of construction of a designer-maker space in a derelict school in a strategically important but underutilised location; A complex of shipping containers for affordable workspace; A fully equipped outdoor events space; Sound proofing of a community theatre; Fit-out of 2 buildings to host an skills development org; A motion capture & tech library in the Town Hall Creative Hub (THCH); Resource investment in a programme of digital skills/enterprise development; Training in use of capital assets (equipment/software); & investment to facilitate start-up of core project. 

Culture Recovery Fund

Responding to the coronavirus pandemic, and the unprecedented challenges it brought to culture and creativity across the UK, the government announced a series of measures in March 2020 to help save these sectors, maintaining jobs and keeping businesses afloat, including a £1.57billion fund to tackle the crisis facing our most loved cultural organisations and heritage sites.

Working with Warwick District's Arts Manager, I helped secure £257,000 to support the Royal Spa Centre and Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum.

Future High Street Fund (2020-present)

The aim of the Future High Streets Fund is to renew and reshape town centres and high streets in a way that drives growth, improves experience and ensures future sustainability. 

I produced a proposal to turn Leamington's Town Hall into a Creative Hub. Following a successful application, I am currently  supporting the delivery of this exciting project.
