Benefits of Membership

FEEDBACK: to Leisure Services (Dudley M.B.C.) on facilities and resources provided by local government, to minimise frustration, optimise utilisation and assist planning.
LOBBY: on amateur arts issues both within the borough and outside, to ensure that the social and economic importance of arts participation is properly recognised at all levels.
CO-OPERATIVE VENTURES: offering know-how, experience and in some cases, direct involvement in joint events, which may be beyond the scope of individual organisations.
TRAINING: in the form of day-to-day workshops on singing, writing etc. and meetings organised to bring in experts on particular related subjects such as marketing, grant application, repertoire etc.
Enable INITIATIVES by providing advice, experience and, in many cases, finance in the form of grants, guarantee against loss, or interest free loan.
ARTS AWARENESS: in the form of members meetings with guest presentations of youth theatre, arts for the disabled, the public art collection, the work of the Borough Artist etc.
SAFETY NET: for members in difficulty, by providing assistance with planning from an advisor within your art form, and depending on circumstances, temporary financial support.
