The Arts Council finally folded and reversed their disgusting decision to strip our funding. They tried to bury these programs but they underestimated the resolve of this community. We forced their hand and secured the future of WAC.

Junior & Senior WAC need you now! Both projects have been cut by Arts Council and we will no longer receive £103,000 per year which we applied for to run these programmes. We need all our students and their families to support us now. From April 2012, we will now receive no funding from the Arts Council. And yet Junior and Senior WAC bring the arts to 100s of children and young people, most of whom wouldn't have access to the specialist teaching and facilities we have built up over the years. Without Junior and Senior WAC 100s of children and young people will be denied their right to experience the joy of the arts. . The report from ACE states ‘(WAC’s) list of alumni is impressive and the scale of delivery makes it an important contributor in delivering training opportunities to children and young people with least opportunities.’ And yet they still cut us! We need everyone to support us - with your help we can save these projects for the future.

One thousand people have signed to tell the Arts Council that stripping away funding for these kids is a disgrace. They admit our work is vital yet they choose to gut our programs anyway. Keep the pressure on these bureaucrats until they reverse this decision.

The government is always finding ways to stop kids from having a future. Keep the funding.

WAC has been such a huge influence for my daughter. Taking this away is just plain wrong.

Total madness. These teachers work so hard and the kids actually learn something real here.

This is ridiculous. The arts are already struggling so much and they decide to cut the best programs? Unbelievable.
