Welcome to Celebrating Sanctuary 2010

Sadly, Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham was recently turned down for an Arts Council grant, which would have been our core funding for the 2010 festival. This means that money we had been granted for the festival from other sources has now been withdrawn. As well as this, city council projects which previously provided funds for our schools activities have ended due to the current financial climate. The outcome - no money; no festival for 2010!

We WILL still be here, though, and will be running a few events throughout the year, including a music night fundraiser for the Destitution Fund during Refugee Week (14 to 20 June), two schools events for Refugee Week, and other music nights in the Autumn and Winter. Keep checking the site for details of dates and venues.

We are also developing our programme and business plan for the next few years, and fully expect to be back, bigger and brighter than ever, in 2011. Watch this space!

If you are interested in helping Celebrating Sanctuary to grow, and want to take an active part in its development either as a volunteer, a sub-group member, an arts practitioner or a strategic partner, please contact Isata on 0121 246 4623 / 07989 847 818; or email Isata@celebrating-sanctuary.org.uk
