As our building is now over ten years old we need to ensure it remains in good repair. Much of the equipment within the building is of a similar vintage and therefore in need of replacement or updating. In 2006 we identified the need for £20,000 worth of expenditure on equipment for our Wardrobe Department to continue to provide such a fantastic service to our productions. We were delighted that The Clothworkers' Foundation rose to the challenge and made a gift of £10,000 towards these costs. We hope to develop our links with these historic livery companies and to make the direct connection between their history and our current needs.
