Summerfield Trust grant to Gloucestershire Dance performance by Roses Youth Theatre members October 2013

Performance of 'Stuck in the Mud', October 2013.

We gave Gloucestershire Dance a grant of £20,000 in November 2012 to help develop a partnership with the Roses Youth Theatre in Tewkesbury.

Gloucestershire Dance is a production and training company specialising in inclusive practice. With their partners they aim to effect real change and address barriers to participation in the arts sector.

The photo is of Roses Youth Theatre members performing in a production of 'Stuck in the Mud' at Blackfriars Priory in Gloucester in October 2013. The event was attended by Vanessa Arbuthnott and Lavinia Sidgwick from the Summerfield Trust who both found it thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining.

"Please do pass on our thanks to the Trustees for
the two grants associated with this project.
We feel proud of the outcome and hope that
the Summerfield Charitable Trust will feel the same having made such an important, and in the case of the first grant, early contribution to the funding package."
- Ken Burgin, Chief Executive
Cotswold Canals Trust

The Summerfield Trust awarded a grant of £45,000 in 2011, payable over two years, for a joint project between The Cotswold Canals Trust and the Stroud Valleys Canal Company .

The aim of the project is to use spare water flowing down the canal to generate income to help support the future maintenance of the restored canal.

In a typical year, the hydro scheme is expected to generate an income of £20,000 through the generation of over 100 Megawatt hours of electricity.

The installation is expected to last many decades and a small team of volunteers has been formed to perform regular maintenance tasks.
