We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we have secured a final funding boost for the Daimler Powerhouse’s Creation Centre from Arts Council England.

The building will provide much needed and dedicated fully accessible spaces for the production of outdoor and site-specific work becoming part of a network of growing national and international creation centres.

As well as providing a home for our innovative education and training programmes aimed at young people and people with disabilities, including Transformations, Teach-Make and Jack’s Frogs, the Daimler Powerhouse will also be home to four resident companies Highly Sprung Performance Co., Media Mania, Open Theatre Company and Talking Birds, as well as ourselves.

The £150,000 funding from Arts Council England will ensure state of the art infrastructure is embedded within the building including music and sound facilities, Aerial facilities including a Vertical Dance Wall as well as essential IT and construction equipment.

“This funding from Arts Council England is fantastic news, the final piece in the funding jigsaw to make this new centre for creative excellence a reality! Work continues apace on the building and it is so heartening in these difficult times to be creating a space for future generations of artists and creative engineers. It is wonderful to see the building, which has a history of excellence, coming to life again.” Jane Hytch.

In addition to this new funding, the redevelopment is funded through £1.9 million from the Cultural Capital Investment Fund which is resourced from Coventry City Council and the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership’s Growth Deal.

The Wigley Group, which owns Sandy Lane Business Park and are undertaking the development work, is contributing an additional £350,000 to enable the project to proceed as well as agreeing a highly-discounted 20-year lease on Daimler Powerhouse, as well as a neighbouring building, as part of the redevelopment. Additional funding has been raised from The Foyle Foundation, Medwell-Hyde, The Garfield Weston Foundation and The May 29th 1961 Charitable Trust. ...
