We are fully committed to fighting climate change, we have been engaged in this since 2018, putting reduce-reuse-recycle at the centre of what we do and encouraging artists to travel by train. We will continue to build on this, capturing data to better understand where we can make a difference, working with local arts organisations to better adapt to a changing environment.

We are committed to treating all our staff, board members, freelancers, artists and volunteers fairly & have an extensive Fairwork policy. We have a clear document outlining rates of pay for freelancers, & are continuing to put in place meaningful ways of ensuring that we provide an effective voice, opportunity, security, fulfilment and respect.
