Tonya Nelson from Arts Council England said: “Across the city, we’ve already seen how funding has helped our theatres, music venues and other cultural organisations survive through the pandemic. Further investment will support these much-loved organisations as they adjust to this new landscape and continue to deliver incredible cultural experiences both on an international stage and to our local communities.”

Michael Chandler, CEO of Union Chapel Project, which received more than £156,000, said the grant would help them develop a sustainable business for the future, put on innovative work, and nurture new talent: "This funding offers a vital lifeline for us as a venue and as a charity as we continue to navigate the financial impacts of Covid. 2021 has been an incredibly hard year for Union Chapel and our communities. We look to the future, committed to using our vibrant space to support our communities to reconnect, overcome the challenges they’ve faced and be uplifted by our stories."

Muswell Hill author and poet Michael Rosen praised Islington's Little Angel Theatre: "When my children were young, the Little Angel was a cultural delight for them. We came regularly to the shows and they attended puppet-making workshops it was a fantastic introduction into the world of story and making story into a living, feeling experience. The Little Angel has also put on plays and stories of mine and it's a privilege to know their puppetry has brought my works alive. This funding will enable staff, artists, freelancers, and audiences to benefit from their top quality cultural work.”
