As it's an Arts Centre all the opportunities are going to be down that route so possibly still wouldn't be much use to you but we certainly are open to all people being creative there.
As for these opportunities - as it happens they are Lancashire County Council funded but when I applied for the money it was from a pot that was aimed at that age group. So, I completely understand your frustration but I couldn't ignore the chance to get some funding for part time staff and I had to go along with their criteria.

actually it would have been, as i said I have been volunteering for the last 2 years with young and vulnerable people on arts and media projects as a mentor/project support worker so have lots to go on my cv already however experience counts for nowt in today's climate. So how about creating some opportunities for over 25's with training to a recognized qualification then i'd bite your hand off!
