Cultural Strategy for Allerdale
Cultural activities are
important to us all. They form a significant part of our everyday
lives. Whether it be walking in the fells, picnicking by the lake,
visiting the theatre, supporting the local rugby team, playing
badminton on a wet Saturday afternoon, taking the dog for a walk in
the park, going to bingo, volunteering on a carnival committee,
clubbing on a Friday night, watching the television, cycling with
the family along the coast road, having a drink with friends,
reading a book and much more!
We all take part in such activities and the quality of our lives is
much dependent upon the positive experiences that we draw from
them. The Government has recognised the value of culture in making
a real difference to the social, economic and environmental well
being of local communities.
We all have a role to play in this!
This Cultural Strategy shows how the local authority working
with other organisations and the public, commercial and voluntary
sectors and with the support of the people of Allerdale can build
on the good work already taking place across the Borough to
regenerate communities and enrich people's lives through
culture.
Throughout the development of this strategy the focus has always
been on the people of Allerdale and their needs and aspirations for
the future. These have been translated into a series of actions
that will give guidance and direction to future cultural provision
and in doing so help make Allerdale a great place to live, work and
visit.
The latest draft version of the refreshed Cultural Strategy is
