“This initiative is a branch of our broader goals to widen participation in the arts across the region; for example, the arts centre recently made a direct investment of £165,000 into new or established artists and their work. These funds supported Zest Theatre’s Camp Phoenix, a production which saw over 600 children participating in creating the performance which toured nationally with a youth cast.” The Every Child scheme’s goal is
