  • Reference: 2020/2184
  • Question by: Siân Berry
  • Meeting date: 16 July 2020
During the coronavirus crisis, arts organisations have needed emergency funding to meet their rent obligations. A major long-term problem, outlined in MD2362, has been that these organisations need to purchase workspaces or secure long-term leases, but lack the large deposits required upfront, even if they have funding to support operating costs. Will you help these organisations invest in their futures by making affordable loans and grants available for these deposits?
