Profile:Live & Local Leicestershire & Rutland

The Live & Local Rural & Community Touring Scheme supports a network of voluntary organisations who bring their communities together to enjoy high-quality, entertaining and affordable professional live theatre, storytelling, music, dance, family & children's shows and film screenings in their local village venue. The Scheme provides a range of support for arts activities - in Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire - that keep people in touch with their communities and enhances their quality of life. Live & Local is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee. It has a voluntary Board of Directors (5-9 members) which is drawn from funders, staff, users, and artists involved with the organisation’s activities. At the heart of the scheme is the opportunity to bring people together to experience memorable and uplifting entertainment.
