So far over 125 people responded. We analysed the results and have listened to what respondents told us, and in response we have created the Creative Lives Community Champions Network. We launched this new network in September 2021 on Zoom. The event started with an overview of the survey results, we announced our forthcoming Training & Networking Programme and introduced our new free bespoke peer support forum on Slack (see below for details). You can watch a short video that captures the highlights and key takeaways from this event here: We're still keen to hear from any creative community champions that haven't already completed the original survey. Get in touch by completing this online form to tell us who you are and what support you need, and one of our regional development officers will be in touch.
