Voluntary arts network

A new organisation is being set up to act as a coordinating body for voluntary arts groups across Cheshire West and Chester. The group will:

• share information - for example on grants or insurance
• create awareness about resources, facilities and materials that could be shared either from member groups or elsewhere
• encourage resource and skills exchanges
• enable collaboration between groups - for example with publicity or joint events
• facilitate skills training for group members
• ensure the concerns of local arts groups are included in plans and policies
• enable the Council to communicate with local arts groups quickly and effectively.
