Yes, indeed, but I'd also like to return to several points raised by those who have appeared here, such as the difficulties faced by the people who run these venues. They're busy plugging leaks in the ceiling and trying to balance budgets that are impossible to balance.
It is clear that this connection with young people and audience development lies at the heart of these venues' mission, but it takes time and resources to fulfill that mission. It is difficult when a manager or any staff member in the cultural sector has to juggle challenges relating to the building's structure.
