Delivered by The Yard Theatre Limited
In 2022, the Foundation for Future London has awarded a grant to The Yard Theatre for its project “The Yard Theatre: Future Technicians Programme” for people in Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest through our Medium Grant Scheme.
“The Yard Theatre: Future Technicians Programme” tackles the creative industry’s lack of diversity, and limited employment opportunities for local young people, by offering intensive technician and backstage worker training across theatre, music and special events.
The Medium Grant Scheme is part of our Westfield East Bank Creative Futures Fund, funded by Westfield Stratford City.
The project meets three of our scheme’s key themes, Employment Opportunities, Learning Opportunities and Young People.
