creative futureCreative Future –  an inspirational organisation based in south-east England but with a national reach – is researching the barriers that marginalised and disabled artists face in the UK when accessing arts opportunities.

What does marginalised mean?

The organisations that help to fund Creative Futures define marginalised as those who feel they lack opportunities because of:
mental health issues
physical or learning disabilities
homeless people
substance misusers
offenders & ex-offenders
refugees
long term unemployed
the elderly
travellers
carers
people from LGB&T and BME communities.

If you complete this survey before the 11th September 2015 https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/barrierstoaccess  you also have a chance to win £60.
