Creatives and cultural organisations in Leicester who achieve social impact through their work can take up fully funded places on a new development programme.

Cultural development charity Art Reach is behind the Impact Network for Creatives (INC) which offers a programme that includes how to get funding.

Art Reach trustee Louise Katerega, who is also head of professional development at Leicester-based People Dancing, said, “Leicester is a wonderfully diverse city full of hard-working, creative people championing social action through arts and events. This new development programme offers the flexibility to select training which suits and benefits best.”

The first chance to engage with the programme is an opportunity to go the Festival of Thrift, the UK's National Festival for Sustainability, on Saturday 21 September in Billingham.

Further information is available at the Art Reach web site.
