Supporting arts at a grass-roots level

Councillor Denise Scott-McDonald, Cabinet Member for Culture, Creative Industries and Community Well-being said, "I am proud that the Royal Borough of Greenwich continues to build on its reputation as an unparalleled destination for arts and culture through supporting a rich and diverse group of local performing arts organisations at a grass-roots level.
