Answer
In 2020/21 the Riverside Theatre received £85,301 through the Stability and Renewal Programme for Organisations administered by the Arts Council on behalf of my Department. This programme was designed to support those in the arts, culture, heritage and language sectors severely impacted by Covid-19.
The Arts Council is the funding and development agency for the arts and may be contacted via info@artscouncil-ni.org to discuss funding streams
