Supporters
Our campaign is powered by our supporters: over a quarter of a million people from every part of the UK.
Together, we take action on the issues and champion the benefits of the arts in society.
Board of Trustees
The Board is our governing body. It is comprised of unpaid volunteers who govern the organisation on behalf of our supporters.

“Arts and culture are essential in giving us perspective on the world. They connect us to our emotions, to each other, and inspire new ideas within us.”
Rosie Luff
“For me it’s simple: the arts help us to understand each other better.”
Peter Manning

“The arts envelop our lives with fresh prospect daily and help us to both reflect and participate, enriching each and every journey we take.”
Amit Sharma
“The most wonderful thing about art is its power to cause change – whether it be something personal like your mood through to something that can be life-changing. The impact it can make should never be underestimated.”
Estelle van Warmelo
Artistic Director of Feral Productions
“The arts connect us – to ourselves, to each other and to the rest of the world. If we lose the arts we lose what it is to be human.”
Samuel West
Actor and director
“Art helps me imagine what it’s like to be someone else. There’s no us and them. It’s us and us. It’s all us.”
