The Wallace Collection in London, Birmingham Museums and Nottingham Contemporary gallery are among more than 100 UK arts organisations that will receive Covid-19 recovery grants from the Garfield Weston Foundation. The foundation, one of the UK’s leading charitable grantmakers, created the one-off Weston Culture Fund last year to help the cultural sector weather the “devastating impact” of the pandemic.
Grants ranging from £100,000 to £1.5m were awarded on 1 February, totalling more than £30.2m a 20% increase on the £25m fund initially announced by the foundation in October. Beneficiaries in the visual arts include the Wallace Collection (£205,000), MK Gallery in Milton Keynes (£270,000) and Nottingham Contemporary (£105,890). Larger grants go to the nine-venue Birmingham Museums Trust (£590

Garfield Weston Foundation has provided major grants for arts organisations across the UK.
Recipients included the National Theatre, Ballet Black, Paraorchestra, Lakeland Arts, Northern Ballet and the NoFit State Circus, with grants ranging from £100,000 up to £1.5m based on the size of the organisation.
Garfield Weston Foundation s director, Philippa Charles said: Our cultural sector is at the heart of our local communities providing not only entertainment but education and inspiration for many. Our Trustees were impressed by the entrepreneurial spirit shown across the arts in response to Covid-19 and it was a privilege to hear what organisations had been doing to not only survive but also to reinvent the way they reach audiences. What really stood out was the level of collaboration and support they had for each other and the determination to keep going, despite the increasingly difficult situation.
