This funding will support the Collective to secure the purchase of the Art Deco Roxy building in Ulverston, Cumbria, which currently houses a cinema and the Laurel and Hardy Museum, a project known as ‘The Future of the Roxy’.

The Roxy Collective plans to:

  • renovate and repurpose the spaces currently in use to make them more accessible
  • install a lift for the cinema
  • provide additional facilities

This will ensure the building is better equipped to deal with the community’s increasing needs.
