Dancing with lead boots

BYT is delighted to announce that they received NPO funding from April 2012 - March 2015 (subject to funding agreement.) We will be receiving an increase of 9% to develop the youth theatre as a cultural venue.  This is something we are passionate about, because we feel we will enable the community of young people we serve and their families to engage with a range of performances and other cultural events.

Part of our bid was also concerned with developing the youth theatre as a hub for other youth theatres, and this is something we are really interested in too - we know how lucky we are to have a venue (and a purpose built venue at that) and wish to extend the use of the venue to other youth theatres locally, regionally and nationally (as well as internationally).

This has been a strange few days.  Of course we are delighted that we have received this great news - but it is inevitably tempered by the news that so many of our collaborators and co-conspirators have not been given NPO status.  We extend to them our goodwill.
