Music Venue Trust Applaud Decision to Extend Cultural Recovery Fund Term

22 January 2021 - Press release

Following today's announcement from The Department of Culture Media and Sport that grassroots music venues who received funding under the government's  recent Cultural Recovery Fund scheme can now spend that money in April, May and June rather than having to return any excess to the government as was previously mandated, Music Venue Trust have issued the following statement from Mark Dayvd, CEO:

"This offer from DCMS and ACE to permit Culture Recovery Fund 1 applicants to carry projects and financing into the next quarter is a real common sense approach to making the best use of public funding. We want to thank our colleagues at DCMS and ACE for working so hard to get this very important opportunity over the line."
