Cultural Education Manager Louise Hesketh talks to Evonne Bixter (Development Officer for the St Helens Local Cultural Education Partnership) and Jeremy Sleith (Head of St Helens Music Education Hub). Together they discuss how the partnership was formed, their challenges and successes in creating a more cohesive local offer for schools and their ambitions for the partnership in the future.

Fuelled by curiosity, we work to make high-quality creative and cultural learning opportunities available to all children and young people, both in and out of school. We do this by connecting teachers and youth workers with artists and creative practitioners; giving them access to information, expertise, space and resources to facilitate collaboration and innovation in the field of creative and cultural education.
