Lift announces partnership with London Thames Gateway Development Corporation

Lift is proud to announce a three-year partnership with the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation (LTGDC), ensuring a future for The Lift in the East London area. 

Lift will deliver four festivals over a three year period across the London Thames Gateway.  LTGDC’s investment will encourage sustainable regeneration of the area through the arts – one of the largest contributions between a regeneration agency and arts organisation.

John Middleton, Head of Economic Development at LTGDC commented: “The partnership between LTGDC and The Lift provides a platform for local residents to come together as a community and engage with their changing environment. Cultural activities such as this festival challenge our perception of places and also boost investor confidence – driving the economic development of the area and creating a strong sense of place.”
