The Story of a Year of Culture
Awakening
Stories from our year of culture
Explore the real stories, emotions and experiences that connected us as one thriving community. Let's celebrate the inspiring tales that have defined this year and put people at the heart of art.
Exploring impact
Publishing data as we've gone along is one of the ways we demonstrated our commitment to representation, inclusivity and transparency.
Our data site is up-to-date with the numbers and graphs collated to date that cover volunteer hours, local school engagement, social media reach and engagement with key events. These numbers will be further added to as more data comes in as part of our independent evaluation.
Data on our site is anonymised and safe for you to use in your work.
