CASH FOR CULTURE
COVENTRY ATTRACTS NEW BACKERS The Coventry City of Culture Trust has received a further £175,000 in grant funding from a range of funders to support events and programme throughout its tenure as UK City of Culture 2021.
Backstage Trust awarded £100,000 before releasing a further £25,000 to match a generous donation from David and Sandra Burbidge.

A grant of £15,000 from The Eveson Charitable Trust will support Uncover/Discover, a ground-breaking arts and education programme based around Coventry’s waterways for 1,000 schoolchildren with learning disabilities, delivered in partnership with Open Theatre Company.

SILVER AWARD RECOGNISING MUSEUM’S GREEN CREDENTIALS
The British Motor Museum in Warwickshire is the first museum to be accredited with ‘Silver’ status by Greengage ECOsmart, the accreditation programme which recognises and supports eco-friendly hotels and conference venues that meet certified standards of sustainability.
Silver status is awarded to venues who have taken steps to achieve a wide range of eco-focussed actions and can demonstrate an eco-friendly service approach in five key areas.
The museum is committed to continually improving its environmental performance and is providing greener ways to do business and host events. It has installed a building management system that automatically optimises the heating and air conditioning, all its lights are LED, it has Solar PV array panels on the Collections Centre roof which supplies the power to this low
energy usage building. The centre has achieved Zero Waste to Landfill and endeavours to source all consumable products from local quality suppliers. It has also invested in 10 electric charging points for visitors and event organisers to use, with the infrastructure to support more.
Jeff Coope, managing director at the British Motor Museum, said: “The Museum is delighted to have been awarded silver status for its eco-focussed actions which we take seriously and are working hard towards a more sustainable future. We are developing a team of sustainability champions for this very purpose and green targets will form an integral part of our strategy for 2022 - 2026.
“It must be a team effort and we look forward to working closely with both clients and suppliers to make better choices to benefit future generations.”
SPORTING STATUS SCHOOL SUPPORTS YOUNG TENNIS HOPEFULS
Bromsgrove School's successful tennis programme has been given LTA U10 Performance Programme status and will be part of the LTA player pathway 2021-2022.
Only 65 venues have LTA performance status, so it is an honour that our Tennis Programme has achieved this.
The director of tennis, Richard Lawton, and Head of Performance Tennis, Jamie Nolan, said the school was looking forward to working in partnership with the LTA and benefiting from the wealth
of experience and expertise from the national coaching team.
“It’s rewarding to see that the success of our tennis players has been recognised and I am confident that this support will lead to further players progressing through the player pathway.”

sector, particularly through the establishment of a new sector-led, city-wide Coventry Music Steering Group.
Martin Sutherland, chief executive of the Coventry City of Culture Trust, said: “We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Backstage Trust, David and Sandra Burbidge, The Eveson Charitable Trust and The Radcliffe Trust for their valuable support. This funding has enabled us to continue to co-create exceptional events with local artists and communities, to empower those who may face additional barriers to the arts and to support Coventry’s vital music sector as look towards securing the positive impacts of the festival beyond 2022.”
