ACT ON THIS INFORMATION

Arts Council England is about to make a massive 35% cut in their Grants for the Arts funding - which has helped protoPLAY in the past. If this cut goes ahead, it will mean that independent artists and many arts organisations (including yours truly) will often find it much more difficult to work and exist. We feel passionately about this and so to help in finding ways to protest, we recommend the following links:

Use this site to sign the petition to 10 Downing Street opposing the funding cuts across Arts Council, Heritage Lottery, Big Lottery and Sport England, which are a direct result of Lottery money being used to plug the funding gap in the 2012 Olympics.
