24 <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2016</strong>/<strong>17</strong><br />
Focus on: Connecting people with arts,<br />
culture, heritage and environment<br />
£25,792<br />
Value of grants awarded<br />
Access to the arts, culture and heritage is inconsistent<br />
across Somerset, and while our county is ranked the fifth<br />
most beautiful natural area in England, not everyone is able<br />
to enjoy the local environment.<br />
Many local groups organise cultural events that bring their<br />
communities together, while others employ arts and<br />
heritage to engage those who face considerable<br />
challenges in their lives.<br />
Case Study:<br />
Actiontrack<br />
Actiontrack uses music and theatre to<br />
improve lives and enhance communities.<br />
Working in partnership with the education<br />
sector, community organisations, local<br />
authorities and public services they deliver<br />
and develop participatory music and<br />
theatre projects that engage those who do<br />
not normally access the arts.<br />
This year we awarded Actiontrack a grant<br />
of £23,440 to refurbish their studio and<br />
purchase new instruments. This was a<br />
major capital development for the group<br />
that has allowed them to increase the<br />
number of young people who can take<br />
part.
