About me:
I’m Director of Engagement at Arvon, an arts charity which runs creative writing courses and opportunities for people across the country. My job is to open up access to Arvon’s creative work and it’s benefit to as many people as possible. I am based at Arvon’s West Yorkshire writing house Lumb Bank, which is near Hebden Bridge and is the former home of the poet Ted Hughes. I also live in Calderdale with my family.
About my journey with CalderdaleCreates:
I have been part of the CalderdaleCreates steering group since 2023 and sit on the governance board. I am passionate about the benefits of culture, both to individuals and to communities. I believe CalderdaleCreates has a vital role to play to support the cultural sector in Calderdale to strengthen and grow to ensure we have a thriving cultural sector for all.
