Pronouns: She/her

“Despite Brighton’s reputation as a world-leading creative hub, there are many people in the city in desperate need of what the arts offer, who have little opportunity to benefit. This has to change. Everyone who wants to take part in the arts should have the chance. Social exclusion must be challenged at every level & the barriers removed for good. We must do all it takes to ensure the arts are accessible. ”
