The Arts Council have also given us a very good report which states we are "good" on artistic programme, "outstanding" on access and engagement and "good" on our work for young people. This is a real recognition of what the company have achieved together in the last three years. I'm very proud of all our staff and all the community participants and promoters who work with us. I'm very much looking forward to developing our exciting artistic plans for 2015-2018"
