Support LEAN and Lewisham Live Festival with our MyDonate button!

0

LEAN as a registered charity is always on the lookout for funding opportunities to help support our work and projects. We now have a MyDonate page run by BT, which means individuals who can spare a penny can donate to LEAN, with funds going towards Lewisham Live Festival 2018 and beyond. 

LEAN was created in 2000 from a grass roots belief that an independent creative agency was needed to support the growth of creative partnership working across Lewisham. Our regular programme of project management, brokerage and support reaches diverse audiences: artists; education and health professionals; youth workers; and young people of primary and secondary school age.
