billericay arts association
ESSEX
The Billericay Arts Association (BAA) was set up in 1979 as a registered charity
to run The Fold as a community arts centre. It is run and staffed by unpaid
volunteer members; only class tutors are paid on a salaried basis. It is
financed by its own activities and occupies The Fold rent-free from Basildon
District Council. The bulk of its funds come from class fees and hiring out
rooms; other income comes from BAA events, membership subscriptions, donations,
grants and the sale of refreshments.
