Making connections through heritage and arts

There are often many unseen barriers to getting involved with heritage and arts. Is it relevant to me? Is there a cost? Will I be welcome? These are just a few questions that could put us off joining in. Our work can be a stepping stone to explore a new place or activity, by sharing our own experiences.

We work with partners to create opportunities for people to take part in heritage and arts in the places where they live. We encourage people to contribute their voice and stories and share for all to hear.
