Small grants are available for a wide range of theatre-related projects and organisations that help disadvantaged and underprivileged children and young people in England and Wales.
The John Thaw Foundation was established in 2002 in memory of the actor John Thaw (1942-2002), perhaps best known for playing Inspector Morse from 1987. The Foundation’s trustees include several members of his family, as well as his wife, the actor Shelia Hancock.
The Foundation supports related charities, education organisations and drama students by:
- The advancement of education by the funding of scholarships for persons who wish to make the theatre their career and who cannot afford the fees of the necessary educational institutions, and
- Supporting theatrical charities and for such charitable purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion determine.
In particular, the Foundation seeks to support a wide range of theatre-related projects and organisations that help disadvantaged and underprivileged children and young people.
