Appetite is making things happen in the Borough of Newcastle and city of Stoke-on-Trent. We’re in the process of developing projects to inspire and excite people to think differently about the arts and what it can do for people and places like ours.
Our work is about making the arts accessible to as many people as possible by creating opportunities with people from the area. To make more happen, and to shape ideas we’re now looking for people to volunteer to be a part of the programme.
