Policy in Action

This is where the work lives.

Community Engagement Policy in Action

Community engagement is how our policies become action, not just written words, but lived practices, shaped by the people and communities we’re in conversation with. It’s how we gather stories, reflect experience, build training, and grow a collective body of knowledge. It’s how we shape safer cultural spaces for everyone, survivors, older individuals, queer communities, disabled and neurodivergent people, and others who’ve historically been excluded.

Global Majority Lived Experience Survey

Arts Venues, Cultural Institutions & Public Spaces

We’ve launched a UK-wide anonymous survey for Black and Global Majority individuals to share lived experiences of racism, discrimination or exclusion in arts venues, cultural institutions and public spaces. This project is grounded in care, healing and truth-telling and aims to support more inclusive, accountable, and culturally safe environments across the sector.

Whether you’ve experienced harm directly or not, the survey offers space to reflect on what a safe space looks like to you. Responses will help shape our Anti-Racism Front-of-House & Event Staff Training, inform advocacy work, and contribute to a published anonymous report highlighting patterns and lived realities across the UK. Your voice matters, We invite you to take part and to share the survey widely within your networks. Every story and every perspective matters.

Anti-Racism Front-of-House Training

A One-Day Training for Arts Venues, Public Spaces and Cultural Institutions

We are inviting arts venues, cultural institutions and public spaces to register interest in our One-Day Anti-Racism Front-of-House Training. This session supports FOH staff, managers, volunteers and teams to recognise, prevent and respond to racism, discrimination and exclusion in public-facing spaces.

The training is grounded in the work we do, and shaped by both lived experience and ongoing conversations with artists, collaborators, staff and communities connected to our programmes and spaces. It also draws on extensive experience in public-facing roles across the arts and offers organisations a practical opportunity to engage with anti-racism in tangible ways. It contributes to meaningful change by supporting safer, more culturally aware spaces, and gives staff and teams the tools to recognise harm, respond with care and build long-term trust. To communities, it signals a visible commitment to anti-racism, opening up conversations, building accountability and working towards public spaces that feel genuinely safe and inclusive. Sessions are expected to launch from early 2026.

Further Policies in Progress

As a voluntary-run community arts organisation and CIC, we deliver a diverse programme of events entirely through volunteer effort. While we do not currently have core funding, we are committed to developing robust governance, safeguarding, inclusion, and accessibility policies to support the growth, sustainability, and professionalism of our work. We are working towards full implementation of the following policies by the end of 2025.
