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.

Forgot to add one additional very important point. They also pay me a salary which I spend a good portion of in this area. So I think it's safe to say that HBC get more out of MPA than they put in.
