Future Perfect - Rotherham's New Cultural Strategy
Future Perfect is Rotherham's new Cultural Strategy, which was launched by Councillor Georgina Boyes at Rotherham's Cultural Conference on 8 May 2003 .
Future Perfect is a rationale for the ways in which cultural services (sport, arts, heritage, green spaces, cultural industries, tourism and libraries) are delivered in Rotherham, links cultural services to the Council's corporate priorities and the Community Strategy, and includes a four year action plan. Future Perfect could support your organisation's bid for Lottery funding. Download it here or get a copy from any local library.
