Crowdfunder for Worthing theatres nearing target

A crowdfunder, set up to support Worthing Theatres and Museum through the pandemic, has nearly hit its goal!

With 10 days left, over £7,800 of the £10,000 target has been raised by members of the public.

Theatres and museums across the country faced possible closures last year due to the covid-19 pandemic.

On the crowdfunding page, WTAM says "We are so grateful to the support our community has already shown us, as well as that of Worthing Borough Council and emergency funding from Arts Council England. We are fighting to ensure the future of WTM and continue to furlough staff, access all the government support available to us, and make savings wherever we can. It’s been particularly challenging in our first year as a charity, and we still have a long way to go".
