Spot On, Lancashire’s Rural Touring Network
Working with local communities to promote professional performing arts in village halls, Spot On is a significant rural arts project in Lancashire.

ARTSnet Manchester
ARTSNet exists to enable arts groups in Manchester to engage in the local neighbourhood renewal process. Linked to the Manchester Partnership it offers web based information, a regular newsletter and training opportunities.
It is delivered by Robinson Howell Partnership for Community Arts North West and is funded by the Community Empowerment Fund via the Community Network for Manchester. In Autumn 2009 the project grew to a full time service.
Creative Partnerships Lancashire
Robinson Howell Partnership is working with Peel Park Primary School in Accrington, St. Mary's Catholic College and Collegiate High School in Blackpool to help them develop creative ways of working across the curriculum.
Creative Partnerships is a national project designed to nurture the creativity of learners and educators though sustained partnerships. Robinson Howell Partnership has been working with Peel Park for a couple of years and is helping push the school to even greater levels of creativity. The Relationship with St Mary's and Collegiate is new but we are planning for great things. In addition we are starting a new project with Education Diversity in Blackpool working with pupils who are not in mainstream education.
