Our 2012 Cultural Champions programme

Celebrating those making a real difference to their local arts scene

What is a Cultural Champion?
The arts in this country could not happen without the passionate support of thousands of individual and businesses who generously give their time, expertise and money to help our cultural organisations flourish and survive.
A Cultural Champion is an individual from the wider public or business community who has shown outstanding support and commitment to an arts or cultural organisation in their local community. Their contribution can come in many forms. Their support could be immediate or have been given over an extended period of time. Whatever their story, it is one that truly inspires others to realise they too can make a difference to an arts organisation's cultural cause.
