£250,000 of funding for the next year means our ambitious plans with our Fenland & West Suffolk communities are ready to get underway.
Arts Council England have today confirmed their funding for MarketPlace for 2025-2026 for our work in Fenland & West Suffolk.
‘The experience was transformative, fostering a new sense of adventure in our family. It boosted the children’s confidence in public settings and reinforced my efforts to expose them to diverse activities.’
– MarketPlace Participant, 2024
MarketPlace is part of the Creative People and Places programme, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. Thanks to National Lottery players, Creative People and Places is about more people taking the lead in choosing, creating and taking part in creative and cultural experiences in the places where they live.
Every National Lottery ticket purchase contributes to more villages, towns, and cities up and down the country being able to thrive through a collaborative approach to culture – from Wigan to Walsall, from Rochdale to the New Forest, and from Boston to Basildon.
This is a ground-breaking programme where programmes test new approaches and share that learning with others, meaning more creative individuals and cultural organisations will be able to develop work with, and that’s relevant to, more communities across the country.
Stay tuned as we reveal more exciting projects coming to Fenland and West Suffolk!
