George Orwell, as well as having gone to school in Eastbourne, also wrote 'Animal Farm' based on Chalk Farm in nearby Willingdon. The Red Lion pub mentioned several times in the book remains much as it was then, just a couple of hundred yards away.
Social Enterprise: The Cultural Shift Programme
The Cultural Shift Programme is funded by EQUAL and the European Social Fund, and is sponsored by SEEDA. The aim of the programme is to promote the social enterprise model of operating to organisations that are seeking to move away from relying on public or charitable funding.
One of the aims of the programme is to help cultural agencies advise current and potential social enterprises in their sector.
We'll bring you more information about this programme shortly. In the meantime, if you'd like further information, please contact Alex Johns at alexjohns@seeda.co.uk or Sarah Linington at sarahlinington@seeda.co.uk.
