Rochdale
Cartwheel Arts promotes social inclusion, cohesion, diversity and regeneration
through community participation in vibrant, innovative, high-quality arts
projects. We use a wide range of media to initiate, and respond to, project
opportunities in Rochdale, Oldham, Bury, Wigan and North Manchester, as well as
promoting the development of the arts and examples of good practice across the
North West. Cartwheel has over 35 years experience of promoting imaginative, and
often challenging arts projects - we do not shy from confronting difficult or
sensitive issues. Our focus is on participation, enabling people who may have
had little experience of the arts to explore and develop their creativity and
talents, generating a sense of ownership and pride. We currently receive
contributions to our core funding from the National Lottery Community Fund and
Greater Manchester Combined Authority. In addition we receive funds for projects
from a wide variety of sources, mainly charitable trusts, but also local
authorities, the NHS and other government departments.
