Acknowledgments

On March 11 2014, the Burtonwood Amateur Music & Drama Society received a grant from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust. The Trust operates in the heart and soul of coalfield communities, investing knowledge, expertise and resources to ensure local people are able to fulfil their potential. Successful regeneration strengthens communities by creating opportunities, it is an investment which seeks to make transformations to create places where people want to continue to live, work and play. The £5000 grant gave us the opportunity to update our sound system and improve not only the quality of our performances but improve the confidence of the talented people of our society.

On April 29 2014, the Burtonwood Amateur Music & Drama Society received a grant from the Warrington Borough Council.

The £1500 grant gave us the opportunity to relocate our costume house facility. The benefits of this facility will be evident in our continuous commitment to deliver fantastic performances to our well-deserved community. It is important that Burtonwood AMADS continue to raise a generation that understands, values and supports theatre in society and the impact this can have on a very supportive community. We have no doubt Burtonwood AMADS will continue for many more years to come as we have continued support from the members of our village and surrounding areas for the hard and dedicated work we do.

The grant is not an investment in our Society alone, it is an investment in our Community. The Society’s doors are open to anyone and welcomes all newcomers.
