MDM Props Ltd. to receive support from third round of the Government's Culture Recovery Fund.

MDM Props Ltd. among 925 recipients to benefit from the latest round of awards from the Culture Recovery Fund

More than £100 million has been awarded to hundreds of cultural organisations across the country including MDM Props Ltd. in the latest round of support from the Culture Recovery Fund, the Culture Secretary announced today.

The third round of funding will support organisations from all corners of the sector as they deal with ongoing reopening challenges, ensuring they can thrive in better times ahead.

Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries said:

"Culture is for everyone and should therefore be accessible to everyone, no matter who they are and where they're from.
"Through unprecedented government financial support, the Culture Recovery Fund is supporting arts and cultural organisations so they can continue to bring culture to communities the length and breadth of the country, supporting jobs, boosting local economies and inspiring people."

Over £1.2 billion has already been awarded from the unprecedented Culture Recovery Fund, supporting around 5000 individual organisations and sites across the country ranging from local museums to West End theatres, grassroots music venues to festivals, and organisations in the cultural and heritage supply-chains.

John Morris, MDM Props Ltd Managing Director said:
"Covid 19 has run roughshod right across the creative sector, but not just the visible and tangible outlets: galleries, theatres, museums and so on, but also the innumerable support companies and individuals: art fabricators, set builders, specialists in all manner of expertise that the arts could simply not function without, but are generally hidden from public view. This grant will enable us to keep trading, and still be in place to support the creators when we emerge from our enforced hibernation. So a huge thanks to the arts council for including us in their grant allocation and for being there for us when we needed them most."

Darren Henley, Chief Executive, Arts Council England, said:

"This continued investment from the Government on an unprecedented scale means our theatres, galleries, music venues, museums and arts centres can carry on playing their part in bringing visitors back to our high streets, helping to drive economic growth, boosting community pride and promoting good health. It's a massive vote of confidence in the role our cultural organisations play in helping us all to lead happier lives".
