September already!
Time flies when you are having fun..
It so great to be back from sabbatical. The team is stronger than ever. I would like to start with a big thank-you to all the people who have come together to strengthen the work of STUN. There is so much to share on the latest activity, changes of staff, new board members, my new email address (miselo.kunda@stunlive.com) and to announce the long awaited happy news of the STUN –Z-Arts partnership space to launch in December.
As STUN opens up exciting new opportunities for the North West, the sector can expect regular news now in the run up to the opening of the new STUN Space.
Look out for announcements for the official launch soon
and your opportunity to get involved.
