I wish to voice my protest that South Hill Park Arts Centre, Bracknell, Berkshire, has been excluded from the National Portfolio, thus threatening its stability.
As well as being a centre of extreme value and importance for the local community and surrounding areas, South Hill Park is highly respected as a venue that attracts the most exciting theatre companies and emerging artists, both nationally and internationally, creating a passion for the Arts that all can aspire to.
Generations have benefited from South Hill Park over the past 40 years. The actions of the Arts Council have now put at risk this shining example of the Big Society with its accessible art presented by professionals and the community in close co-operation.
The geographical spread of the National Portfolio has left the people of East Berkshire seriously disadvantaged in terms of accessing the Arts. I strongly urge you to ensure that there is no reduction in future funding for this vital Arts Centre. Reconsider your decision: include South Hill Park in the National Portfolio.

I was looking at the screen and realized we are inches from the five hundred mark if everyone just nudges their neighborhood groups right this second. It feels like the air is getting thinner while we wait for the Arts Council to notice how much this place actually helps people because I am honestly terrified of what happens if we lose the funding.

To lose this lovely place would affect many people, both mentally and physically!
Please think very carefully about this. SHP is a major asset to the local area and ought to be given the funding it needs to continue its good work.
I strongly object to the funding cuts for SHP. I regularly attend functions there and enjoy every minute. jane hough
my kids have done classes here for ages, dont take this away from the town
Such a brilliant venue, really gutted to hear about the funding. It creates such a great atmosphere in bracknell, keep it open!
Save the real arts!!!
Extremely welcoming and friendly place , be a shame to lose it

This is a valuable well attended provision for the community in and around Bracknell and should be maintained.
