The Old Low Light Heritage Centre on North Shields Fish Quay has been awarded emergency Government funding to safeguard its short-term future.
The heritage centre has received £33,300 from the Culture Recovery Fund (CRF). The money - part of a final £35m tranche awarded to 340 organisations across England by the CRF - will go towards The Old Low Light's running costs for the first three months of this year.
Centre director Guy Moody said it was a relief to receive the money from the CRF, which was launched by the Government in August 2020 with a pot of £1.57bn to help cultural organisations face the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic and to ensure they have a sustainable future.
