What we do
As registered charity no 248171, we support the cultural life of the borough and help local creatives and arts groups to grow and develop. We organise festivals and exhibitions, offer networking opportunities and grants to our member societies to support their activities. We enjoy working in collaboration with the borough's Arts Development team, the department of Culture and Leisure Services and The Queens Theatre, Hornchurch.
Who we are and how we work
