Arts Inform's project on Impact Assessment is funded by a consortium of arts organisations, led by A New Direction and including the Royal Opera House, the Roundhouse and the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith. The outgoing Arts Inform team of Catherine Sutton, Helen Thorn and Catherine Rose will re-form under CRO Ltd's management to carry out the project.

A group of arts education managers will meet and explore Impact Assessment - what it is, how to do it, its use for arts organisations - over a four-month period. The team will then produce resources which will be disseminated via A New Direction.

Catherine will be hosting a new classical music radio show at the Milton Keynes community online radio station Secklow Sounds (www.secklowsounds.org).

It will go out live every Thursday at 2pm and is available shortly after each broadcast to listen again online. Click here to listen online.

The show aims to introduce the audience to classical music through an hour of short pieces and lively talk, including guest artists and an occasional visit from Lady Effingham.
