We’re pleased to share some good news: balletLORENT has been awarded £45,000 over two years from the Garfield Weston Foundation.
The Garfield Weston Foundation is a family-founded grant-maker supporting charities across the UK that make a positive difference within their communities. Since it was established in 1958, the Foundation has awarded nearly £1.7 billion in grants to charities across the UK.
This funding will help us move forward with some of our plans for the next two years – strengthening the work we do from our home at the John Marley Centre in West Newcastle and across the UK.
It will support our work creating new dance theatre and developing opportunities for children, young people and adults to take part in dance and creative activity, including our Youth Academy, community classes and Community Cast programme for Hansel & Gretel and the Witch, touring nationally in Spring 2027.
We’re very grateful to the Garfield Weston Foundation for supporting balletLORENT and helping us continue to create opportunities for people to experience, take part in and be inspired by dance.
