What kind of a year has 2012 been for you and your organisation?
Good – we made the case for the arts and we are still standing!

What has changed for the better and what, if anything, has changed for the worse?
Some places, politicians, people… We have a brilliant, new live art festival in Ipswich – Spill – which took the town by storm and the town loved it! On the downside, there are local authorities cutting 100% of their arts budget – has it really come to this?

What do you wish hadn’t happened this year?
An EBacc without the arts – what is Michael Gove thinking?

What do wish had happened this year, but didn’t?
It has to be world peace…

What would you characterise as your/your organisation’s major achievement this year and why? We are still standing, still funding, still delivering – still making the case!

Is there anything you’d like to have done but haven’t? There’s always more to do…

What would make 2013 a better year than 2012?
An EBacc that embraces the arts.
