Five reasons why you SHOULDN’T come to the National Arts Fundraising School
Yes, you read the headline right. This is a blog explaining why you SHOULDN’T come to the next NAFS on 8-13 November 2020. And actually why you shouldn’t even consider our first programme in 2021 on 25th-30th April.
Can Rishi’s Riches Save the Arts?
As news of Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak’s £1.57bn arts and culture rescue package came through late last Sunday night, it was a good way to end the weekend… and enabled me to wake up on Monday morning much more optimistic about the future of the UK arts sector than I had been previously.

@r0b_shaw @danaksegal @bernardrossmc @jbellinghammc @nafs Wahha I don't think it stays in the old noggin long enough. I need constant reminders of the same stuff. I think it falls out of my ears while I'm asleep. Plus I'm greedy
Delighted to be with you on the #GreatGrimsby journey :-)
Great fundraising sessions so far with @mcNAFS supported by @GrimsbyCreates - £3.2million is just the beginning! Excited to see where this can take us. #grimsby #culturematters #HereForCulture
