Areas for which the Trust has provided support include:
- Encouraging the involvement of young people in the performing arts
- Assisting live arts projects (not all in the UK) which encourage community participation, and equality, particularly in under-represented areas
- Providing help with professional development of small and medium-scale arts organisations, helping to encourage diversity and remove barriers to access
- Providing advice on fundraising and helping to create a fundraising strategy
- Giving advice on feasibility studies for capital projects, and guidance on project management
- Funding elements (particularly the less appealing items) of capital projects
- Providing support to the performing arts’ freelance community
- Encouraging new writing
