↓ Who we are
The Bradford Cultural Place Partnership commissioned Culture Is Our Plan with funds from City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council and Arts Council England.
The Partnership is chaired by Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe and membership includes leaders of the major strategic cultural initiatives in the District alongside representatives of the independent arts, culture and heritage sector:
The independent sector representatives are nominated by the Cultural Voice Forum, a network open to everyone working in arts, culture and heritage in our District. It brings together more than 250 people to share sector knowledge, experience and opportunity.
