Save the CCANW Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World Print E-mail

Wednesday, 03 March 2010

After 5 years of continuous Arts Council England (ACE) support, CCANW is threatened with closure following a recent unsuccessful grant application. ACE has given CCANW the opportunity to re-apply, but only if the charity raises £20,000 in match funding during the coming weeks for its new 2010-11 programme year.

Following our first urgent appeal for donations and sponsorship support, we can report having reached half of the immediate fundraising target of £20,000 that is needed to ensure the charity's survival beyond 31 March. This is mostly due to fantastic support received from private individuals and it is very heartening to see so many people on our mailing list demonstrate how much they care about CCANW continuing its groundbreaking work for and with artists, schools and communities.

However, CCANW still needs to raise £10,000 urgently.

If you have already made a contribution, many thanks again for your support. If you are considering making a donation or becoming a Friend but haven't had an opportunity to do so, please do so now – any contribution at this point, can make all the difference between success and failure!

Please click through to www.ccanw.co.uk/become-a-supporter.htm for fast, secure and easy ways to make a contribution.

Thank you.

Devon County Council has launched the UK’s first Deaf Heritage Month this month (March 2010).

With support from the county’s deaf community, Living Options Devon and the Exeter Royal Academy for Deaf Education, the County Council hope the event will raise awareness of deaf culture in Devon.

The campaign aims to increase the opportunities for both local and deaf people across the UK to experience heritage events in their area.

Throughout the month there are lots of events happening across Exeter for both children and adults. These include signed tours of Exeter Cathedral, a printmaking workshop at Exeter Phoenix, storytelling sessions at St Nicholas Priory and West Exe Children’s Centre and a family history session with interpreters at the Devon Record Office.

It's Mother’s Day on Sunday 14 March and Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery is holding a day of workshops where little ones can get creative and make something extra special for mum.

The ‘Marvellous Mums’ sessions on Saturday 6 March will give kids a chance to colour in and write cards, have a go at special Mother’s Day colouring sheets and word-based activities and design a heart-shaped magnet. The activities will be a simple but fun way for parents and other family members to spend some quality time with their children while they exercise their creative abilities – and everyone will get a chance to make something that they can take home to give to their mums.
