We are absolutely thrilled to have been awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at last night's Cultural Impact Awards at Porters, organised by @getthechance.bsky.social , supported by Tempo Time Credits. The award was presented to us by trustee Sara Beer, who had kept it a complete secret.
Louise, Steph, Elise, Alan and Sara pose with the award, which is a framed certificate. On a screen behind them the words Winner Taking Flight are visible on a yellow background. The lighting is very hot pink in tone and everyone is smiling.

A new 'sector snapshot' report on the state of the performing arts in Wales says that one of the “most persistent sources of frustration” is “feeling unable to rigorously communicate the social value & impact”. Does 'the arts and culture' have a framing problem? www.linkedin.com/posts/anitah...
