Building the Capacity to Deliver

Culture Northwest works to build key delivery networks, and pool resources to make big things happen.

We support a culture of leadership and continue to drive pan-sector engagement across the North West and nationally. Some of our work to date includes:

• Northwest Regional Economic Strategy – the North West Culture Observatory is co-ordinating an evidence paper for the Cultural and Image factor to inform the Regional Economic Strategy
• Two nationally innovative partnership posts - a Heritage Tourism Executive (in conjunction with English Heritage and NWDA) and a Sports Network Manager (in conjunction with Sport England)
• Roman Heritage Officer – employed by Culture Northwest to deliver across the region
• 2012 Creative Programmer – Culture Northwest hosts, leads and facilitates the work of the Creative Programmer to deliver the Cultural Olympiad for the North West
• Heritage Tourism Investment Scheme - a scheme focused on private sector heritage attractions
• Cultura– a network of leading women in the Northwest’s culture sector providing opportunities to network, build profile, share information and generate new ideas
