I'm passionate about
Honesty; being true to yourself and getting past the BS from the get go.
An idea worth spreading
ARTS - Active Retired Theatre Staff. A Social Innovation whereby Arts communities e.g. Theatres, Museums, Conferences, Festivals etc. within the NGO / not-for-profit engage with their local active retired organisations, groups and individuals to give their time and efforts in working with their local Arts organisation. Its a two-way street that benefits both bodies.
