Most arts organisations rely on a combination of earned income and grants from Central Government, Local Government, private donations and charitable trusts.
The Courthouse is unusual in that each year we need to generate over 85% of our own income – a very high percentage for an arts organisation and a tribute to the hard work our staff and volunteers put in week in and week out.
