An independent alliance of arts, cultural, educational, social and voluntary organisations committed to growing and strengthening cultural mobility in all its forms in Newham.
Our aim is to provide a strong and connected creative vision for the borough whereby everyone can benefit from creative opportunities - as makers, producers, leaders, audiences and participants - whatever their background or circumstances.
