Youth & Young Persons Budget - Funding Awarded to Making Theatre Gaining Skills
Published: 15 January 2025
Yesterday, Making Theatre Gaining Skills (MTGS) were presented with their cheque for £5,000, by the Mayor of Bognor Regis, funded from the Environmental and Leisure Committee’s Youth and Young Persons budget.
MTGS is an arts training enterprise, providing local people with skilled tutors, offering a combination of professional work experience, creative skills, training and supported employability, focused on activities that are both practical and purposeful. Utilising a unique and ingenious pop-up theatre, the participants engage in a variety of tasks, helping them become more confident and resilient.
The grant from Bognor Regis Town Council will support two inter-linked projects; the third Bognor Regis Puppet Festival scheduled to take place at the end of May 2025 and the establishment of a new and unique traineeship course in Puppetry and Production Skills which will run for the academic year and will include the creation of performances to be included in the Puppet Festival.
