Spring into action with STUN this March!

A warm welcome to everyone to this month's newsletter.

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.

As Vice Chair and Interim Chair (whilst Miselo is on sabbatical) it is a great pleasure for me to share the new opportunities which STUN presents for us all as I look forward to the year ahead.

Look out for announcements for the official launch in

2013 at Z Arts and your opportunity to get involved.
