  • Script Supervision

  • Production Office

  • Carbon action planning (using Albert)

  • Deliverables & accessibility

Sessions should take place between 29th January 2024 and 28th March 2024 and considerations for making the events as low-carbon as possible should be made.

Proposals should include details of potential venues and budget proposals should include facilitator fees, kit hire, venue hire and catering arrangements where appropriate, with an expected budget of £150-£750 depending on location, duration and content. We will aim to spread the programme across the entire region as well as considering the proposals & budgets submitted, and the experience of the facilitator.
