Grants

The Society makes grants both to individuals and to organisations in support of cultural and scientific activities which increase innovation, outreach and diversity in Leeds and its immediate area. It also supports local museums and galleries and publications relating to the city.

A Leeds Phil & Lit grant supported rehearsals and ten performances of a promenade version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at Home Farm, Temple Newsam. Over 500 people saw the production, which deliberately aimed to engage a local audience in East Leeds and draw in people who had never seen a Shakespeare play.
