“It is fantastic to learn of the impact of this wonderful work by Seed, one of the South West’s two Creative People and Places (CPP) projects for 2022-25. Increasing creative and cultural opportunities for communities that need it most, is at the heart of our 10-year vision we set out in Let’s Create, and Seed play a vital role in bringing that vision to life.

We cannot wait to see their work develop and witness the impact of this investment across Sedgemoor over the next few years.”
