Attitude is Everything Ltd: Regularly Funded Organisation of the Arts Council England 2008-2011
The Board of Directors of Attitude is Everything (AiE) Ltd are delighted to announce that on Friday 1st February 2008 they received significant news from the Arts Council England (ACE) which informed them of their funding agreement from 2008 -11. AiE have been successful in being selected as a Regularly Funded Organisation for the next three years. ACE have made a commitment to supporting organisations who have a strong and effective influence of increasing audience attendances; and AiE are pleased that they have received this just recognition, at a time when they are separating from their parent organisation and seeking independence.
Attitude is Everything Ltd is currently undergoing a separation from Artsline to develop and realise its potential as an organisation, both in terms of service growth and financial sustainability. The Arts Council England have supported AiE's change programme and they are pleased that they will be supporting their development. ACE are proposing a significant uplift to AIE to support additional costs we will incur as a result of becoming an independent organisation. This proposed additional investment will also increase AiE's capacity to provide strategic services for the music industry to improve Deaf and disabled people's access to live music (see the funds in brackets).
Our funding level is confirmed as:
2008/9 - £90,000 (£16,550 additional funds for capacity building and confirmed pending organisational development outcomes)
2009/10 - £92,430 (£24,460 additional funds again subject to business planning)
2010/11 £94,925 (£29,529 additional funds subject to business planning)
AiE Project Manager Suzanne Bull says:
"I believe that the funding level reflects strongly the faith and the passion that all of our supporters, whether they be our volunteer mystery shoppers, bands, artists, DJ's, stewards, representatives in the music industry, former and present staff, and past and present Steering Group members, have had in Attitude is Everything. We have a brilliant team that has gone from strength to strength over the past 7 years and now the world is our oyster!"
The organisational aims of AiE are to increase access for Deaf and disabled people to live music by working in partnership with audience, artists and the music industry to implement a Charter of Best Practice across the UK. This is achieved by being user-led at every level, to increase awareness of the issues facing Deaf and disabled people at music events, to improve Deaf and disabled people's access to live music, and to demonstrate Best Practice and set an example. Our objectives will be delivered by the services and projects that we run, including mystery shopping, Disability Equality Training and Club Attitude.
