Is there a chart on how the Arts Council grants are shared out, I believe the Royal Opera House consume a large amount of the money?

I haven't seen one.  I did have a look.  So many places were threatened with cuts.  Some managed to retain their funding including The Orange Tree in Richmond and The Bush Theatre.  Watermans didn't.There is a Gift Aid form you can download from their site.  Then they can claim back money from the tickets that you buy and bought over the years.We used to use it a lot for children's things, then jazz at the weekend, and films. The trip on the 65 bus down South Ealing Road to get there was part of the experience.

Does the central Arts Council fund anything in Ealing?
