Maybe Gayle would like to remind us how much HBC put into Mid Penine and how much Mid Penine brought into Hyndburn.

HBC put a big fat zero into MPA last year. As for what they got out of us - I don't know figures but as far as project go there's The Enchanted Woodland at Arden Hall, the Mela and Community Festival, work at Within Grove, a major conference that we held at the Dunkenhalgh for teachers, a conference held at the Hope Centre for pupils, Talking Shop, lots of subsidised workshops in schools plus other stuff.
Some of the projects had outside funding that Mid Pennine Arts applied for so not all of the funding came from Mid Pennine Arts if you want to be pedantic but the projects happened because of MPA.
Talking Shop is an exception because HBC are putting a small proportion into it this year but they are putting the money in solely for that one project and it is funded from one specific department of HBC.
