Easton Arts Trail 2010
Originally started in 2006, the Easton Arts Trail (Bristol) is proving to be 'one of those community things' that actually works. This year, the Easton Arts Trail 2010 took place in 30 different venues, including open houses, local churches, community venues, cafes and pubs, with over 55 artists and arts groups exhibiting artwork, performing and running workshops and other activities.
Focus' Simon M. and Emily B. were two of hundreds of people who followed the trail through small start up studios, hijacked pubs and peoples living rooms. Simon M. also took the opportunity to exhibit some photos from his brother-in-law's front room, which were well recevied.
With councils cutting budgets left right and centre, this is one project that seems to have really made the sun shine in Easton and Bristol would be a lesser place without it. Check out their website for more information: www.eastonartstrail.co.uk

Gift Aid for grass roots
Last week's budget spells good news for small organisations, who may now benefit from Gift Aid without holding charitable status themselves. Money can now be funnelled through to local voluntary groups, such as youth clubs and community associations from umbrella charities with grant-making power.
This is good news for communities throughout the UK, who will be able to claim 28% tax back on all donations raised.
