COVID-19 has delivered a hammer blow to businesses in every sector of the economy. We’re used to having to fight for our funding in the arts, but this time we are in the same position as businesses up and down the country and worldwide. On 16 March all of our income disappeared, and since then we’ve been doing what we can in order to keep our heads above water, until lockdown eases and we can all once more walk the streets and go freely to and from place to place.
Reopening The Pound arts centre and building momentum for Pound Arts will not be as straightforward as you might think, it will take time and our income will not simply leap back to what it was. Wiltshire & South Gloucestershire deserves brilliant access to the arts, and we want to bring that back to as many of you in the region as we can. But we are going to need help to achieve it. Every pound you give will go into our creative learning projects and employing artists to work with us, ensuring our financial stability and enabling us to continue to support the local communities we serve through our charitable activity.
We can’t yet tell you exactly when The Pound arts centre might reopen or when Pound Arts will once again be fully operational, but we know that we will only achieve it the same way that this beautiful organisation has achieved everything else worthwhile over the last 20 years or more – in partnership with the support of the people who love and care for it most.
Pound Arts is only here, and can only survive, because of the support you give it. Little things make big things happen. Thank you for reading this and considering our request. Your support means the world to us. Take care, stay safe.
The Pound Arts Team
