Be generous. Be more generous. Share your privilege.
For the tenth year running, Arts Emergency has had more applications for mentors than we have the resources to take on. The need for our unique programme is clear. We simply lack the funds.
We really want to support 21 more mentees on the programme in January, so we’ve launched an appeal and are asking those who can to fund a place.
There is no greater way to pass on your privilege.
