Following lobbying from Alex to DCMS, the Cheltenham Trust received £195,000 in central government support for its post-Covid recovery.
The grant takes the overall package of support for Cheltenham’s cultural heritage to over £4m.
As well as supporting iconic Cheltenham venues/institutions like the Festivals, Everyman and Playhouse, this has also gone to those companies, like Unique Sound Systems Ltd (£164,752) and Peak Hire Ltd (£157,429) which work behind the scenes, and which are crucial to helping culture in Cheltenham survive and thrive.
Alex said: "The continued investment on an unprecedented scale means our theatres, galleries, music venues and arts centres can carry on playing their part in bringing visitors back to Cheltenham high street, helping to drive economic growth and promote good health."
