Gill Simmons from Brave Bold Drama visited Crofton

Gill Simmons from Brave Bold Drama

This week, Gill Simmons from Brave Bold Drama visited Crofton to have a tour of the site from one of our fantastic volunteers and talk to our Learning and Community Engagement Officer and Site Manager. 

Whitney & Gill discuss ideas.

Gill (right) is working with Crofton to help us develop our Arts Award Discover offer, which we plan to deliver later in the year. Arts Award is a series of nationally-recognised creative qualifications for young people up to the age of 25, managed by Trinity College London in association with Arts Council England. Gill is well placed to advise us; Brave Bold Drama has been a Trinity Champion Centre since 2021 for their successful and innovative delivery of creative arts courses for young people.  

We are thrilled to be working in partnership with two other museums, The REME Museum & Chippenham Museum, and are grateful for the funding to help us develop this offer through a ‘Capacity Builder’ grant, awarded by Museum Development South West, with thanks to support from Arts Council England.
