Swindon Dance has been awarded a substantial £100,000 grant from Arts Council England (ACE) through the Capital Investment Programme.
This generous funding will be used to upgrade the organisation’s internal facilities, creating a more comfortable, accessible, and environmentally sustainable space for all users.
The grant will enable Swindon Dance to carry out a series of essential upgrades to the historic listed Town Hall building, transforming it into a modern and welcoming space. The improvements will focus on enhancing user experience, accessibility, and environmental sustainability, ensuring that the facilities can be enjoyed by people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
By investing in the future of its facilities, Swindon Dance aims to provide top-notch resources that are accessible to everyone. This development aligns with their commitment to fostering a creative and inclusive community space where dance can flourish.
The project is scheduled for completion in 2025, and Swindon Dance is eager to share its progress with the local community.
