“Storytelling is how we make sense of the world, amidst the crises of today. Against the backdrop of the pandemics of coronavirus and systemic racism, it’s essential to our world and can help us to envision a different way of life through understanding the unseen stories. Our commitment is to giving voice to the unbridled creativity of diverse artists, producers, and writers, who are underrepresented in the Arts in Britain today. Over the last 30 years, we have created a strong organisation with a solid foundation and reputation. We work with agile and strategic minds, with an ability to work collaboratively, and a commitment to developing innovative ideas as we navigate these uncertain times.”

Deepa Patel, Chair of the Board of Trustees.
