I am extremely lucky to work with a wonderful variety of local creative partners and providers who support us in reaching vulnerable families in Ipswich, I am luckier still to have such a wonderful team - today we won the national civil service award for community, so proud

Still looking! Neither role necessarily have to be of Caribbean descent, but it would impact the project positively. Finding a producer is the current priority
Taking a Caribbean dance project on a rural tour for older adults and KS3/4 young people in Suffolk and Norfolk in 2024 Looking for a producer and a director/facilitator type person. The director would ideally support facilitating Q&A sessions. Caribbean descent would be ace!
