The theatre, which focuses on involving young people at every level, has been awarded provisional Stage 1 capital funding (£3.85 million). URBED provided an initial feasibility study and proposed options for changes to the existing building as part of the bid. As part of the design work we involved young people, staff and users of the theatre.

Matt Fenton, Artistic Director/Chief Executive, Contact says:

‘We are delighted with the success of our applications to Arts Council England for National Portfolio and Capital Stage 1 funding. Both awards are hugely positive steps towards securing Contact’s vision for the future, and for the next generation of audiences and artists.’
