I've loved leading @HEYCreativeCC to support arts, culture & heritage in #Hull & #EastYorkshire to thrive through cross-sector partnerships. There's now opportunity for an innovative & strategic thinker (and doer!) to take over, driving the partnership into its next chapter.

Each year, FEAST reaches thousands of young people with enriching activities & free meals. This summer, our amazing community providers gave out more than 50,000 meals. The extension of the programme is a huge sigh of relief, and a safety net, for families across #NorthYorkshire
North Yorkshire Together@nyorkstogether3 Oct 2025
The government has confirmed that they plan to continue funding free activities with food during the school holidays until 2029! Read more about the extension here: northyorkshiretogether.co.uk… #HAF2025 #dfe #FEASTNorthYorkshire @educationgovuk

It's been brilliant to have @BBC support FEAST over the recent days via online news, @BBCLookNorth coverage and a spot on @BBCYork. Holiday activities like FEAST are a lifeline for families, and there's still over a fortnight of activities to get involved in #HAF2025 #FEASTNY

I loved this piece from @LynGardner on how village halls can be at the heart of a democratic approach to culture. I was always astounded by the sheer percent of a village that would come out for a #ruraltouring show when I led @RuralArts. @Ruraltouring thestage.co.uk/opinion/villa…

Lyn Gardner on how theatre can reconnect with local audiences

Theatres and arts institutions would do well to look more closely to the connections and trust that the village hall offers its audiences, says Lyn Gardner
