Help Us To Future-Proof Exeter Phoenix
Published September 7, 2015
In February we announced an Arts Council grant of £320,000 awarded to Exeter Phoenix for structural changes that would result in better facilities that offer more to our visitors.
At a time when the future of the arts is under threat, this project is designed to future-proof the organisation by allowing us to invest in facilities which will increase arts activity and enable us to operate on a financially self-sufficient model.
The building works currently taking place will:
- Provide us with a new 92 seat balcony in our main auditorium
- Transform a disused roof space into an outdoor bar and hospitality area
- Create an enlarged computer training suite
- Build a new, solar powered, 74 seat digital cinema
Three Ways You Can Help
A requirement of our grant is that we raise a percentage of the overall costs from elsewhere. So far we’ve raised, or have pending confirmation of, nearly £80,000 of further funding. Now, in the final stages, we are looking to our audiences to help us cross the finish line.
Taking a moment to do even just one of the below will make a big difference. Thank you.
1 – DONATE
If everyone reading this email donated just £2, we would reach our donations goal.
However large or small, your donation will make a real difference. Thank you.
2 – VOTE FOR OUR PROJECT
Our project is one of a handful in the South West to be shortlisted by the M&S Energy Fund.
This £12,500 fund would substantially help our cause and all we have to do to win it is receive enough public votes.
