If you have been to our gigs and had one of our gig bakes, you have supported our nominated charity Creative Response. They do really valuable work in the local community offering art-based workshops to help people experiencing mental ill health, learning and physical difficulties. Thank you!!

Our volunteers go above and beyond. Everything they do is done with kindness. From supporting our arts workers and participants in art sessions, fundraising or helping with exhibition preparation; the time they give is immense. They are an integral part of the team, with whom we wouldn't be able to do what we do without their wealth of skills and support.

So, during Volunteers' week, we'd like to say a very big thank you. Thank you to all our volunteers and trustees.THANK YOU for all you do. We massively appreciate you and the time you give us.

If you'd like to find out a little bit more about our charity, and you have a little spare time, however big or small, we'd love to hear from you.
