We had a great meeting last week with really valuable contributions, suggestions and questions from a diverse group from the sector.

For those of you who were unable to attend, please read the blog which sets out the plan and which was explored during the meeting.

At the end of the meeting there was a request for further information from Handstand Arts. Kate Hartoch has put together a document about Handstand Arts which can be seen here:

There were some great suggestions in the meeting yesterday of how to refine the structure, organisational development and fundraising and there will be time to address some of these in the next few months in the process of fleshing out the bid.

I am also attaching a link to an online poll which we would love you to complete before Monday. I am meeting the Arts Council on Tuesday morning and it would be great to have an idea of what the sector thinks for that meeting.

There is space to include alternative suggestions or comments in the survey. As this survey is anonymous we will address any comments or suggestions through an open office in a couple of weeks.

Circus Change Up will be in touch in the next few days to coordinate working group meetings where we will be able to discuss potential activity in greater detail.

Please get in contact if you have any suggestions info@circuschangeup.co.uk The project email is checked regularly but we’re working on a part-time basis, so we may not be as speedy as we would wish.
