ReNEW are on the look out for someone to deliver the Local Cultural Sector (LCS) Skills Development Programme as part of their wider work across the two towns.
Part of the ReNEW programme, this tender represents a major cultural initiative to strengthen creativity, skills, and opportunities across North East Worcestershire.

“Through this programme we’re not only supporting skills development, but strengthening the networks, creativity, and collaboration we know already exists locally.”
The project will focus on developing sector skills in areas such as leadership and governance, communications, event management, sustainability, and fundraising.
