PACE Theatre Company is pleased to announce that they have been successful in securing Creative Scotland Multi-Year Funding for 2025-28. The Paisley-based theatre company, which runs the largest youth theatre in the UK along with other professional theatre productions, is due to receive an award of £391,667 over three years to support the organisation’s work.
Creative Scotland’s Multi-Year Funding Programme offers funding for creative and cultural organisations – supporting core costs and their programmes of work for the initial period April 2025 – March 2028.
The funding will be integral to the expansion of PACE’s performance, participation and creative development programmes and towards realising our vision of young people from all backgrounds inspired and fulfilled by creativity and culture.
Grant Mason, Chief Executive of PACE said:
“We are incredibly grateful to receive this vital funding from Creative Scotland, which will enable us to build on our commitment to providing quality arts experiences for young people in Renfrewshire and beyond.
“This funding will go a long way to ensuring long-term stability for our organisation, as we continue to grow opportunities for participation including the expansion of our widening access programmes, offer support for emerging artists, and produce and receive exciting new theatre for children, young people and families.
“We are acutely aware of the challenges faced by cultural organisations and whilst we were pleased to see many of our colleagues receive support today, our thoughts are with those in our sector who didn’t receive positive news.”
