Earlier this year it was a case of Mind the Gap minding its bank balance as the innovative West Yorkshire theatre company secured £818,943 in European Union funding that effectively greenlighted its plans to build a new start-of-the-art theatre space in Bradford.
The funding, secured through the European Regional Development Fund, is the company’s second major financial boost in recent years. Previously Mind the Gap received £1.25 million from Arts Council England. With over £2 million now safely in the bank it can finally begin moving into new premises at Manningham’s iconic Lister’s Mills redevelopment.
