Significant events
- “In June 2024, the merged organisation rebranded to become Sinfonia Smith Square, comprising a corporate structure of the parent charity, subsidiary charity and trading subsidiary company.”
- “Doors Open is our Capital Project to safeguard and upgrade Smith Square Hall, providing a home for the artistic and community activity of the organisation, and a source of commercial revenue to underpin a sustainable business model.”
- “We were delighted to secure a National Lottery Heritage Fund ("Heritage Fund") Development Phase grant at the end of 2023.”
- “Following a competitive tender process our architects Burrell Foley Fischer were appointed in July 2024 and following an intensive period of design development and statutory and public consultation we submitted planning and listed building consent applications to Westminster City Council in July 2025.”
- “Fundraising commenced in earnest at the start of 2025 and at the date of signing this Report we have secured £5.5m match funding, which alongside the potential Heritage Fund Delivery Phase grant amounts to 72% of our target for the core project.”
- “We were delighted to receive planning and listed building consents from Westminster City Council in March 2026.”
- “We are on-programme to start work on site in autumn 2027, closing the building at a point to be determined during the year and reopen to celebrate our 300th year during 2029.”
- “FY 2024-25 was another successful year for Sinfonia Smith Square and its subsidiary organisations. We began working in earnest on the Development Phase of our planning Capital Project, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, and as a result of this, total income increased by 8%.”
